Answer 2

Answer:

The Britishers feared that the reckless felling and cutting of trees by traders destroyed the forest. So they invited Dietrich Brandis for advice and made him the first Inspector General of Forests in India.

The steps taken by Brandis to protect the forests were:

(a) A proper system was adopted to manage forest and people to conserve forests.

(b) Rules about the use of forest resources were framed.

(c) Felling of trees and grazing of land was restricted, so that forest could be used for timber production.

(d) Anyone who did not follow the system was punished. Brandis setup the Indian Forest service in 1864.
