🔖 What Are Deemed Forest and Kelp Forest ?

📌 Deemed forests are areas of land that appear to be forested but are not officially classified as such in government or revenue records. In India, deemed forests account for about 1% of total forest land.🔺🔺


📌 Kelp forest :- Kelp forests are underwater areas with dense concentrations of kelp, a large brown algae that grows in cool, shallow coastal waters. 🔺🔺
