Why was local grazing affected due to deforestation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because forests declined so fodder and grazing spaces reduced
Local communities obtained grass, leaves and other fodder for their animals from forests, and they grazed livestock in open forest areas. Deforestation reduced both grazing land and fodder sources, disrupting local grazing. Option C is incorrect because grazing was directly linked to forests. Exam tip: remember fodder, fuelwood and grazing as key rural uses of forests.
