Question

Read the following passage
When I was a child, which is almost more than 50 years ago the environment was very pristine, very beautiful and very
green. We were a British colony and the British government at the time started to clear cut the indigenous forest in our
forested mountains because they wanted to establish commercial plantations of exotic species of trees such as the pines
from the northern hemisphere and the eucalyptus from the Australia.
These trees are very nice, they grow tall and they grow very fast but as they grow they destroy all the local biological
diversity. All the flora and fauna disappeared. So, although we were getting commercial timber from the growing timber
industry, we also destroyed our local flora and fauna.
