    The document discusses two types of forests: thorn forests and mangrove forests. Thorn forests are found in parts of India that receive less than 75cm of annual rainfall, and are characterized by trees that lose their leaves for most of the year such as babool, palm, neem, and ber trees. Mangrove forests are coastal zones inhabited by trees that grow very closely together and provide shelter for birds, covering around 6,740 square kilometers in India, mainly in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Sundarbans of West Bengal.
