Answer 1

Diversity in forests has been disappearing very quickly. During the period of industrialization (between 1700 and 1995), 13.9 million square km of forest was cleared for industrial uses, cultivation, pasture and fuelwood. This turns out to be 9.3% of the total area of the world. Disappearance of forests is called deforestation. The process of deforestation began many centuries ago, but became more systematic and extensive during the colonial period.

About one-sixth of India’s landmass was under cultivation in 1600. At present, almost half of the landmass in India has come under cultivation.Due to this diversity of forests the British started exploiting Indian colonies and farmers

Answer 2

Explanation:

The British colonizers were worried that Indian farmers were destroying the forests with their agricultural practices. They wished to cultivate the forests themselves and perform scientific forestry. So they formed these forest society and made various laws to restrict the use of these forests by locals but continued their commercial exploitation of these forests
