Answer 2

Answer:

The major causes of deforestation in manipur are Jhuming cultivations and increase in human settlement( increase in population).

Explanation:

• The rich biodiversity is ultimately impacted by the destruction of the trees caused by both an increase in Jhuming area and a decrease in the Jhum cycle.
• Due to the loss of top soil, fertility, and vegetation cover, it is almost completely degraded and is on the verge of becoming a desolate wasteland.
• The state's forests are being rapidly destroyed for a number of reasons, including shifting agriculture (Jhuming technique), which burns 99 percent of the state's woods, and animal hunting, which only accounts for 1 percent of all forest destruction.
• Huge tracts of forest are being moved around for farming in Manipur.
• As the population grows, more land is being used for Jhumming farming, and there are no other ways to replace it.
• When compared to earlier times, the cycle of jhumming cultivation is likewise getting shorter.
• In shifting cultivation, also known as jhum cultivation, the temporary conversion of forest land to agricultural usage is a common agricultural practise, especially in the North Eastern States of India.
• The approach basically entails cutting down a hillside's forest in November or December, burning the debris in April or May, and then planting seeds in the newly cleaned soil.
• June is the time for sowing, July to August is for weeding, and September to October is the time for harvesting.
