India's Green Energy and the Role of Forests, Explained

India is working on using cleaner energy to help the environment.

Forests could play a big part in this.

Professor Ashwini Chhatre says forests are very important.

He thinks some forest land should be used to grow bamboo because bamboo helps absorb carbon.

It's also important that the people who live near the forests own them.

This helps to protect the forests.

Rules and payments need to be changed so that we can have cleaner energy and sustainable forest practices.
