Why were the Kalang people most important in forest history?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They were skilled in forest cutting and timber work

In Java, the Kalang people were skilled at cutting forests, extracting teak timber, and preparing it for transport. The Dutch needed timber for shipbuilding and other purposes, so Kalang labour was especially important. They were not European administrators or sea sailors. Exam tip: remember the Kalangs as a skilled community associated with forest clearing and timber work in Java.
