Which is the strongest economic sign of forest transformation in Java?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Combination of forest labour and state control for teak timber supply

In Java, the colonial government treated teak as a valuable commercial resource, especially for shipbuilding and other official needs. To secure a regular teak supply, it increased state control over forests and organised local forest labour. Hence, this is the clearest economic sign of forest transformation. Sea-salt production and cotton dyeing do not directly show a change in forest management, while complete abandonment of forests was contrary to colonial policy. Exam tip: link forest change in Java with teak, state control, and forest labour.
