Detailed Solution

Teak and Sal species of trees were suited for building ships and railways. The ideal characteristics of a good forest varied greatly between foresters and peasants. In order to meet their various demands for fuel, food, and leaves, the villagers desired forests with a variety of species. The forest department sought out trees that could be used to construct railroads or ships. They need tall, straight trees that could produce durable wood. As a result, some species, including teak and sal, were encouraged, while others were chopped down. Teak was mostly used to create furniture and ships, while sal was used to make railroad sleepers. The new forest restrictions made life extremely difficult for people all around the nation.
