How did commercial forestry change the basis of valuing forests?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forests were valued by economic use and timber production

Under commercial forestry, colonial authorities increasingly viewed forests as sources of revenue and useful timber. Demand for timber for railway sleepers, ships and construction meant that a forest was valued chiefly for its economic usefulness and timber output. The number of wild animals was not the basis of colonial economic valuation. Exam tip: link commercial forestry with timber production, revenue and controlled forest management.
