With the largest forest cover among all the five tehsils of the Ashoknagar district, Chanderi is a place rich in both flora and fauna. Teak, Sal and Bamboo are the main indigenous species of the region. The forest also provides shelter and essential habitat for a wide range of wildlife.
However, in recent years, the woods have suffered from pressures of population and unplanned development and hence attempts need to be made to ensure that the total forest area does not dwindle further.
