Wood is a fuel, it is a structural material for both buildings and ships, and forests occupy land that can be used for agriculture. Deforestation is an inevitable consequence of the early stages of industrialisation.
Increased demand for timber due to expansion of railways and for ship building purposes
expansion of factories ...etc industrialisation for the benefit for the Britishers
Increased demand for timber due to expansion of railways and for ship building purposes. the spread of railways from the 1850s created a new demand. railways were essential for colonial trade and for the movement of imperial troops.
Large areas of forests were also cleared to make way for plantation crops.
The British encouraged the production of crops like cotton, jute, sugar, etc.
Forests were also cleared to make way for tea, coffee & rubber plantations as europeans were so fond of them.
