Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Between 1880 and 1920, India's forest cover decreased significantly. Forests were cleared to create portions of agricultural land. The country's agricultural requirements increased along with its rising population. India suffered a huge loss in its forest cover as a result. Due to this extensive deforestation, forest organisations were created that controlled how forest land was used. Farmers felled trees carelessly because they had families to support and taxes to pay. The British imposed high taxes on agricultural properties to get the money needed for their political objectives.
