 After this, under the Forest Policy of 1952, a third of India's forests were targeted to be protected.  Some activities that harm forests have been banned, due to this, a change has been seen in people's thinking and development in the next 50 years.  After that a constructive attitude was adopted to preserve it through a five-year plan.  The Forest Conservation Act was passed in 1980, the act stipulated that henceforth central permission would have to be taken to do agriculture or forestry and farming in the forest area.  If they do not do so, then it will be placed in the category of crime.  The legislation aims to limit deforestation, conserve biodiversity and conserve wildlife, but this year there was little reduction in deforestation due to low investment and neglect, which India followed in 1988.  Inaugurated its National Forest Policy, which, under a joint forest management policy program, proposed that along with the forest department, a special forest block will be managed in the villages and protection of forests will be exclusively the responsibility of the people.  Such an initiative was considered positive because by 1992 seventeen states of India participated in joint forest management and about 20 lakh hectares of forests were brought under protection.  Read information on organic farming here.
