Assertion:  The forest movements of the South are different from those of the North.

Reason: The forests of the South are still peopled, whilst the forests of the North are more or less devoid of human habitat or, at least, are perceived as thus.

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

What distinguishes the forest movements of the South from those of the North is that the forests of the former are still peopled, whilst the forests of the latter are more or less devoid of human habitat or, at least, are perceived as thus.
