Question 5 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics B

Using complete sentences, examine how the forestry industry has both positive and negative effects in Canada.

Answer

Answer:

Canada's large forests support logging, paper and lumber production, jobs, exports, and communities that depend on forestry. At the same time, cutting trees can damage habitats, reduce biodiversity, and contribute to soil and water problems, especially if forests are harvested faster than they can regenerate. Sustainable forestry practices and replanting can reduce some of these harms. The industry therefore has both economic benefits and environmental costs.
