Q- Why did British appoint the first Inspector General of Forests in India?
Answer- British appoint the first Inspector General of Forests in India by the following ways:
1. The new forest laws changed the lives of forests dwellers in yet another way.
2. They were worried that the use of forest by the local people and the reckless feeling of the trees by traders would destroy forests.
3. So, they decided to invite a German expert, Dietrich Brandis, for advice and made him the first Inspector General of the Forests in India.
4. After appointing a German expert, Dietrich Brandis, he made some new Acts and laws to divide the forest in three categories and restrict people from entering forests to cut wood.
