&#x2018;Manufacturing synthetic fibres is actually helping conservation of forests&#x2019;. Comment.

The synthetic fibres are made from petrochemicals, which are not derived from trees. Raw materials for natural fibres are mainly derived from plants and this means cutting a lot of trees. This leads to deforestation. Hence, manufacturing synthetic fibres helps in the conservation of forests.
