* Increase in population, leading to growth in demand for food, and extension of land under cultivation at the expense of forests.
* Colonisation by the British encouraged production of commercial crops, due to which people began clearing forest for more production of commercial crops
* Increased demand for timber due to expansion of railways and for ship building purposes.
* Large areas of forests were also cleared to make way for plantation crops.
