How should the rise of commercial forestry be understood from the market viewpoint?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forests were viewed as sources of saleable timber and profit

Commercial forestry treated forests as resources for producing timber for the market and earning profit. Rising demand for wood for railways, shipbuilding and other industries encouraged the colonial government to plant commercially valuable trees and regulate felling. Option C refers to subsistence use by local communities, whereas commercial forestry was driven by markets and profit. Exam tip: use the phrases ‘timber for the market’ and ‘profit’ in your answer.
