Why were forests not just resources but a life system for forest dwellers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they provided food, fuel, fodder, medicines, livelihoods and cultural traditions

Forest communities depended on forests for food, fuel, fodder, fruits, medicines and many everyday needs. Forests were also connected with their livelihoods, beliefs, customs and community identity; therefore, they formed a life system rather than merely a resource. Options B and D reflect the colonial state’s view, not that of forest dwellers. Exam tip: remember the economic, social and cultural importance of forests for forest communities.
