Catching specific exceptions, such as 'FileNotFoundException' instead of 'Exception', helps implement precise recovery strategies and provides clearer logs for debugging. It avoids masking unrelated issues. For instance, catching 'NullPointerException' separately informs the developer about a possible null object reference.
