Why would it be wrong to ignore labour demand in colonial deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Plantations, railways and construction required many workers to clear land and carry out work

Colonial deforestation was not limited to cutting trees. Large numbers of workers were needed to clear forests, fell and transport timber, lay railway tracks, build roads, and work on plantations such as tea, coffee and rubber. Therefore, labour demand must be considered along with the demand for land. Option C is incorrect because labour was required from the very first stage of forest clearance. Exam tip: when explaining deforestation, link demand for land and timber with the need for labour.
