In the Java context, why does the term 'forest transformation' mean more than tree cutting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it included changes in law, labour relations, ownership, and rural life

In Java, colonial forest policies changed far more than the number of trees. Dutch rule expanded state control over forests, restricted villagers’ customary rights, and imposed labour arrangements for forest work. Forest transformation therefore involved changes in ownership, law, livelihoods, and rural social life. Option B is wrong because these changes had major social effects. Exam tip: when discussing environmental change, include its social and economic consequences as well.
