What was the role of teak in Java forest transformations?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Teak was a major commercial timber used for shipbuilding and other purposes

In Java, teak was highly valued because its wood was strong, durable and resistant to water, making it especially useful for shipbuilding and colonial trade. Its commercial value led the Dutch to increase control over teak forests and introduce forest-management rules. Option B may seem possible because wood can be used as fuel, but teak’s main colonial importance was as valuable commercial timber. Exam tip: link Java’s forest transformations with teak, shipbuilding and Dutch forest control.
