      (i) British needed forests in order to build ships and railways.
      (ii) They were worried that the use of forests by local people and the reckless felling of trees by traders would destroy forests.
      (iii) So, they decided to invite a German expert, Dietrich Brandis, for advice and made him the first Inspector General of Forests in India.
