Solution

Explanation: 3 Marks

The local people need large quantities of firewood, small timber and thatch. Bamboo is used to make the slats for huts and baskets for collecting and storing food materials. Implements for agriculture, fishing and hunting are largely made of wood; forests provide sites for fishing and hunting. In addition to people gathering fruits, nuts and medicines from the forests, their cattle also graze in forest areas or feed on other fodder which is collected from forests.
