Forests offer us a huge variety of financial and social advantages. The economic benefits are as follows:

  • Processing of forest products such as woods, fruits, flowers etc help to develop the economic status of a country.

Biosphere reserve, sanctuaries can be made which will help in conservation of endangered plants and animals as well as it can serve as a tourist spot that serves the economy of a country and scope of employment will also increase which will help to develop the economy as well.
