FAQs on Whose Forests? - 1 Class 5 Worksheet EVS Chapter 20

1. What are the main causes of deforestation?
Ans. The main causes of deforestation include logging, agriculture expansion, infrastructure development, mining, and urbanization. These activities often result in the clearing of forests for timber, making space for crops or livestock, building roads or settlements, extracting minerals, and creating urban areas.
2. How does deforestation affect the environment?
Ans. Deforestation has several negative impacts on the environment. It contributes to climate change by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. It also leads to loss of biodiversity as many species rely on forests for their habitats. Deforestation increases soil erosion, disrupts water cycles, and can cause local climate changes by altering wind patterns and temperature.
3. What are the consequences of deforestation for local communities?
Ans. Deforestation can have severe consequences for local communities. It often leads to the displacement of indigenous people who rely on forests for their livelihoods. Forest clearance can also result in the loss of traditional knowledge and cultural practices. Additionally, deforestation can disrupt local water sources, reduce access to medicinal plants, and increase the risk of natural disasters like floods and landslides.
4. How can we prevent deforestation?
Ans. Preventing deforestation requires a combination of efforts. It is crucial to promote sustainable forestry practices, such as selective logging and reforestation. Implementing and enforcing laws that protect forests, promoting alternative livelihoods for communities dependent on deforestation, and raising awareness about the importance of forests are also essential. Additionally, supporting initiatives that encourage responsible consumption and reducing waste can help reduce the demand for products linked to deforestation, such as timber and agricultural commodities.
5. What is the role of international cooperation in addressing deforestation?
Ans. International cooperation plays a vital role in addressing deforestation as it is a global issue. Collaboration between countries can help establish and enforce international agreements, such as the REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) framework. This framework provides financial incentives for developing countries to reduce deforestation and promote sustainable forest management. Sharing knowledge, technology, and resources among nations can also contribute to more effective strategies for combating deforestation.
