Which approach is most balanced in studying deforestation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Understanding it through economic, administrative, social and environmental causes
Deforestation is a multi-causal process. In the colonial period, expansion of cultivation, demand for timber for railways and ships, forest policies, and changes in the rights of local communities were linked economic, administrative and social causes, with environmental consequences. Weather or animal activity alone cannot explain it adequately. Exam tip: while answering on deforestation, mention both its causes and its social and environmental effects.
