Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The colonial authorities advocated reserving two-thirds of the forests, stopping shifting farming, hunting, and gathering of forest products in 1905. The colonial authorities' demands for free labor as well as goods as well as rising rents hurt the locals.
The people were allowed to live in the forests in the designated areas, but they were also required to labor for the forest service for free, cutting and moving trees and guarding the forests from fires. The villages were known as forests. In short, Bastar and Java both passed laws governing the forest. Communities have less access to the woodlands because of these rules. Only specific forests could be harvested under strict control for wood. Therefore, it can be said that the given statement is not accurate as 2/3rd of the forest was reserved and not 1/3rd.
