Detailed Solution

The above statement is True. The accessibility to pasturelands decreased as grazing pastures were taken over and converted to cultivated lands by the colonial governments.

Pastoral mobility restrictions led to continual grazing grounds and deterioration in pasture quality. As a result, the lack of fodder for animals led to the decline of the animal population. It became challenging for pastoralists to move in search of new pastures, and grazing became challenging.
