In what form is the role of colonial trade most clearly visible among the causes of deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Market demand for timber and cash crops

Under colonial rule, demand for timber increased for ships, railway sleepers and construction. Forests were also cleared to establish plantations of cash crops such as tea, coffee and rubber. Therefore, colonial trade is most clearly reflected in market demand for timber and cash crops. Seasonal changes in rainfall are not a trade-driven colonial cause of deforestation. Exam tip: link “commercial demand” with “plantations” in your answer.
