Answer 1

Forests are affected by wars and this often leads to deforestation. Forests during warsare freely cut to meet the needs of war.Forests are as important resource and hence during wars they are destroyed by their own country under the 'a scorched earth policy'. This prevents the enemy from using this resource.
