Question:
List four threats to forest resources.
Answer:
Our forest resources face a number of threats in the form of:
- Deforestation: Much of the forest land has been converted into farmland in order to provide food for a rapidly increasing population.
- Wanton destruction and depletion of forest resources for timber and wood.
- Overgrazing by animals that has caused destruction of seedlings.
- Millions of acres of forest are destroyed by forest fires, many of which occur due to human carelessness.
