Detailed Solution

The statement mentioned above is true.
Commercially valuable timber was produced in reserved forests. Britain had to rely on its woodlands and forests during the First World War since it could not obtain lumber from outside. Under the strain of the British Empire's high need for wood, local demand, and, most importantly, the rapid growth of colonial agriculture and the subsequent loss of forestry cover in India during the first half of the 19th century, India's timber resources were rapidly depleting. Restricted grazing and tree-felling were essential to maintain wood to make timber to ensure production without outside disruptions. Commercially valuable commodities like timber were required to be produced in the reserved forests with the establishment of the forest acts.
