The British exploited forests primarily for economic gain, driven by the demand for timber and other resources during the colonial period. They sought to supply materials for shipbuilding, construction, and fuel, which were essential for expanding their naval and industrial capabilities. Additionally, deforestation facilitated agricultural expansion and the establishment of plantations, further entrenching colonial interests. This exploitation often led to significant environmental degradation and displacement of local communities.
