Forest Society and Colonialism — Question 1

I have seen a number of changes in forest areas around my locality. Some of them are as follows:

1. Forest area has gradually decreased. Outer areas have been cleared for residential purpose.
2. The tribes living inside the forest areas are gradually leaving their conventional occupation and shifting to the city area for education and jobs.
3. Forest guards have been appointed by the Forest Department to check the illegal felling of trees.
4. Forests now have lesser trees and lesser animals.
5. The hunting of wild animals has been prohibited.
