Hasdeo Arand is a forest in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh in central India. The forest is 170,000 hectares in area and is home to a diverse ecology and adivasi communities such as the Gonds.[1] It is on top of the Hasdeo Arand coalfield in the north of Chhattisgarh. The Government of India has proposed to mine the coal, which would destroy the forest.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The Hasdeo river runs through the forest. The forest comes under the Korba, Surajpur, Surguja districts of the state.[10]
