Every animal and plant added to the charm of the forest.
c.) What are the people in the picture doing? How will the actions of the people in the picture affect the forest and wildlife?
Ans. The people in the picture are collecting wood, fruits and roots from the forest. The actions of the people are not harmful for either the forest or the animals.

Collecting and gathering items from the forest is their way of life and they live peacefully along with other animals of the forest.
