Detailed Solution

Under the Forest Act some forests which produced commercially valuable timber were declared as reserved.
1)      By the mid-nineteenth century, multiple Forest Acts had been adopted in various parts of different provinces.
2)      Some forests that generated commercially valuable timber, such as deodar or sal, were designated as "Reserved" under these Acts.
3)      As per this act now, these forests were off-limits to pastoralists.
4)      Other forests have been designated as 'Protected.' Pastoralists were allowed customary grazing privileges, but the movement of these pastoralists was heavily restricted.
5)      Grazing was thought to kill seedlings and young tree shoots that grew on the forest floor by British officials. In nutshell, the forest act had badly affected the life of pastoralists.
