In colonial deforestation law was used not only for order but also for what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To establish state control over forest resources

Colonial governments used forest laws to bring forests under state control. This enabled them to regulate timber—especially for railways and ships—and other forest produce for imperial needs. Option B is incorrect because these laws often restricted the customary rights of forest dwellers. Exam tip: link colonial forest laws with state control, revenue, and the demand for timber.
