Detailed Solution

The colonists believed that Grazing destroyed saplings in the forests.
According to the colonial rulers, Grazing destroyed the young trees and seedlings that grew on the forest floor. The pastoralists' livestock could not enter the woodlands, which provided them with vital feed. Even in locations where they were allowed to enter, their movements were severely restricted. Pastoralists could only stay in the woodlands for a set number of days and needed a permit. Pastoralists were not allowed to stay in one place, no matter how much undergrowth was present in the forests or how much succulent grass and food were available. If the pastoralists lingered longer than allowed, they faced fines.
