If both martins and harriers are in the forest, then which one of the following must be true?

I'm confused on how to properly conclude that anything other than M and H are in the forest.
Hi, I'm still a little confused on this question, the contrapositive of rule 3 states Not G --> Not W, but since we only know that we don't have G how can we invoke that necessary condition to mean that we don't have W as well? Wouldn't that be working backwards?

We aren't invoking the necessary. We know that g is out, so that invokes the sufficient, if not g, therefore the necessary must be true as well, that not w.
