War and Deforestation
War and Deforestation
War and Deforestation: The Allied power exploited the resources (mainly forests) and people of their colonies and won both the First and Second World War. Both these wars had a devastating effect on the forests of India and other colonies. In India, at this time and the Forest Department was cutting trees freely to meet British war needs,
In Java, the Dutch followed a Scorched Earth Policy, just before the Japanese dominance. By following this policy, Dutch destroyed sawmills and burned huge piles of giant teak logs, so that they would not fall into Japanese hands. The Japanese then exploited the forests recklessly for their own interests.
This opportunity was used by many villagers to expand cultivation in the forest. After the war, it became difficult for the Indonesian forest service to get this land back. ‘This situation was same as that of India where people and forest department conflicted with desire to control forest area.
Forests are affected by wars because forest products are used for fulfilling various needs and requirements during war.
