Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

When we consider the conservation of forests, we need to look at different stakeholders, whose dependency on forest resources varies. People who live in or around forests are dependent on forest produce for various aspects of their life. The forest department of the Government which owns the land undertakes protection and controls the resources from forests. The industries that use various forests produce, but are not dependent on the forests in any one area. Environment conservationists, nature enthusiasts and NGOs who want to conserve nature in its natural form.
