What kind of pressure is shown by the combined presence of railways and plantations in deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Combined colonial pressure on forest resources and forest land

Railway expansion required large quantities of timber for sleepers, fuel and construction. At the same time, forests were cleared to create land for plantations such as tea, coffee and rubber. Thus, railways put pressure on forest resources, while plantations put pressure on forest land, creating a combined colonial pressure. Option B is incorrect because both activities increased deforestation rather than conservation. Exam tip: connect railways with timber demand and plantations with land demand.
