Forest Clearance
Forest clearance is a mandatory regulatory approval required for any project that involves the diversion or use of forest land for non-forest purposes. This process is governed by the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, and is essential to ensure that development activities are carried out without causing irreversible damage to forest ecosystems.
At Korde Environment Engineering LLP, we provide comprehensive end-to-end support to help organizations obtain forest clearance smoothly while ensuring full compliance with legal and environmental requirements.
