Question

how are effected forest by wars

Answer 1

Forests are affected by wars and this often leads to deforestation. Forests during wars are freely cut to meet the needs of war. Forests are as important resource and hence during wars they are destroyed by their own country under the 'a scorched earth policy'. This prevents the enemy from using this resource. Many villagers used this opportunity to expand cultivation in the forest.

Answer 2

In India forest department cut trees freely to meet British war needs.

In Java just before the Japanese occupied the region, the Dutch followed Scorched Earth Policy, destroying sawmills and burning huge piles of gaint teak logs so that they would not fall into Japanese hands.

The Japanese then exploited the forests recklessly for their own war industries, forcing forest villagers to cut down forests.

Many villagers used this opportunity to expand cultivation in the forest. After the war, it was difficult for the Indonesian forest service to get this land back.

In India people's need for agricultural land has brought them into conflict with the forest department's desire to control the land and exclude people from it.
