How can deforestation be understood in the framework of economic gain and environmental cost?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Revenue rose through timber, agriculture and trade, but soil erosion, loss of wildlife habitats and ecological damage occurred

Deforestation could increase colonial revenue through timber extraction, expansion of cultivation and trade. However, it also caused environmental and social costs such as soil erosion, destruction of wildlife habitats, loss of biodiversity and harm to local livelihoods. Therefore, option A correctly links economic gain with environmental cost. Option B states the opposite of the usual environmental effects. Exam tip: in such answers, mention the economic benefit along with at least two environmental consequences.
