Question

The biggest problem of Indian forests is the fast dwindling forest cover. Mention two reasons for this condition.

Answer 1

1. Deforestation for Agriculture and Urbanisation: Large areas of forests are cleared to make way for farming, housing, and infrastructure development.
2. Illegal Logging and Overexploitation: Unsustainable cutting of trees for timber, fuelwood, and other forest products reduces forest density and area.
