Consider the following statements:<br/>1. As per law, the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority exists at both National and State levels.<br/>2. People's participation is mandatory in the compensatory afforestation programmes carried out under the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016.<br/><br/>Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Correct. The Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016 provides for National and State Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authorities (CAMPA). So it exists at both levels under law.

2. Incorrect. The Act lays down use of funds for afforestation, regeneration, wildlife protection, etc., but it does not make people's participation mandatory in compensatory afforestation programmes.

Therefore, only Statement 1 is correct.
