Explanation:
Causes for forest depletion in India are:
Depletion of forests on an extensive scale was carried out in the colonial period. The beginning and the expansion of railways during this period led to the destruction of huge chunks of forests.
In independent India, clearing of forest land for the purpose of cultivation has also led to the depletion of forest cover in the country.
Timber has become an important commercial resource. It is used for building and making furniture. The felling of the trees for the purpose of obtaining timber is an important cause of reduced forest cover in India.
