Answer 1

Forest Transformations in Java:

• As in India, the need to control forests for railways and shipbuilding led to the establishment of a forest facility by the Dutch in Java.
• Villagers were penalized for feeding cattle in young stands, transporting wood without a grant, or traveling on forest roads with horse cattle or carts.
• The trees were cut down only for particular purposes like constructing houses or making riverboats and only from particular forests under close management.
• The Dutch need timber from Java to construct ships. They stopped the Practice of changing cultivation. The Dutch passed forest laws in Java, limiting villagers’ entry to forests.
