Question

Why do you think forests are conserved in areas not fit for cultivation?

Solution

Cultivation requires clearing of forests on a large scale. In areas that are not fit for cultivation, clearing of forests for cultivation purpose involves a huge cost and labour. This, in turn, increases the cost of production. So, forests are conserved in areas that are not fit for cultivation, e.g. the Western Ghats.
