Question
Explain two problems that affect forestry in Canada.
Answer
- Accidental fires which consume large tracts of the forest reduce the area under the forest.
- The cold climate leads to trees taking too long to mature, which delays harvesting time.
- Northern parts are inaccessible in winter due to very cold climatic conditions.
- Overexploitation in some areas has created a shortage in some of the tree species while taking a long time to mature.
