Question 1 Report

The annual burning of forest areas encourages
Answer Details
The annual burning of forest areas is not a good practice and it does not encourage afforestation, regeneration or selective exploitation of the forest. Instead, it can lead to deforestation, which is the permanent destruction of forests, and cause harm to the environment and wildlife. The burning can also release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Taungya farming, which involves planting crops among trees, can be a sustainable alternative to burning and can help maintain forest cover.
