Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are

The stakeholders of a forest are:

• The people who live in or around a forest by depending on forests produce for various aspects of their life.
• The forest department or the government which owns the land and controls the resources of the forest.
• The industrialists who depend on forests for various raw materials.
• The wildlife and nature enthusiasts who want to conserve nature in its pristine form.

People living in urban areas are not considered stakeholders of forests as they directly neither benefit from the forest, nor are involved with it in any regard.
