Question

What do you mean by planned harvesting of forests? How does it help in conservation?

Answer 1

Planned harvesting of forest is a method employed by the government to conserve forests. Under this, all the trees of a forest are prevented from getting cut while converting it into an agricultural land. Cutting of all the trees may lead to soil erosion and other natural problems.

Planned harvesting of forests maintains a balance between deforestation and afforestation, i.e., regeneration of new plants. Thus, it helps in conservation of forest.
