Among causes of deforestation railways and ships are linked with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growing demand for timber

Large quantities of strong timber were required for railway sleepers and for building ships. This rising demand contributed to deforestation during the colonial period. Cotton cultivation could also lead to forest clearance in some areas, but railways and ships are directly linked to the demand for timber. Exam tip: remember ‘railway sleepers + shipbuilding’ with timber.
