Detailed Solution

According to the Forest Act 1878, Reserved forests were called the best.
The British Administration drafted the Forest Act in 1878. According to this, the British administrators controlled all wastelands and were also allowed to restrict protected and preserved woods. The protected woods, reserved forests, and village forests were divided into three categories according to the Forest Act of 1878. Reserved forests are the most local forests. The state government creates them on any wasteland or forest under its jurisdiction. Locals had to obtain a Forest Officer's permission to enter these designated forests during the settlement process. India's forests were safeguarded and preserved by this Forest Act.
