Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The villagers of Java needed a permit to transport wood. Java, an island in Indonesia, used to be mostly covered in forests. The Dutch were Indonesia's colonial rulers. They desired timber from Java for building ships and other purposes. When it became crucial to govern terrain rather than merely people in the nineteenth century, the Dutch in Java implemented forest rules that limited villager access to forests. Thus, wood could be harvested only from designated forests under strict control and for defined applications, such as building houses or riverboats. In addition, villagers were fined for grazing livestock in undeveloped stands. If the villagers wanted to transport wood, they required a special permit from the authorities.
