Answer» SOLUTION :Needs and KNOWLEDGE of the local people needs to be given DUE consideration for maintaining forests . This gives an insight on how the resources can be used in a susutainable manner. When vast area of forest land was converted to monoculturesof pine , teak , eucalyptus , etc , a large amount of biodiversity was DESTROYED and needs of local people (leaves for fodder , herbs for medicines , fruits and nuts for food) could no LONGER be met from such forests . |
