context_page_description: The state of Andhra Pradesh is considered one of the rich bio-diversified states in India. Natural vegetation and animal life depend mainly on climate, relief, and soil. Krishna and Godavari are the two largest rivers flowing through the state. The Andhra Pradesh Forest Department deals with protection, conservation and management of forests.
context_section_description: The total forest cover of Andhra Pradesh is 22,862 km². The Eastern Ghats region is home to dense tropical forests, while the vegetation becomes sparse as the Ghats give way to the Deccan Plateau, where shrub vegetation is more common.
