The document discusses forests and rangelands in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan has 4.01 million hectares of forest land, which makes up only 5% of its total land area. 85% of Pakistan's forests are public lands, including coniferous and scrub forests in northern hills and mangrove forests in the Indus delta. Though limited in area, forests play an important economic role in Pakistan by employing half a million people and meeting one-third of its energy needs. Forests and rangelands also support 30 million livestock and are important for soil conservation, water flow management, and reducing sedimentation.
