Solution

Answer:

Scientific forestry is the science of forest and tree plantation management. Natural forests are cut down with various types of plants and substituted with one particular kind tree in lines defined as the plantation.

The British claimed that through the farming activities, the Indian framers were damaging the forests. They decided to cultivate the forests on their own and carry out forestry analysis. Therefore the British people made different laws to regulate the use of these forests in order to limit the farmers, but they proceeded to use the forests for their commercial purposes.
