What problem occurred when pastoralists got less time in forests?

Correct answer: Animals did not get enough grazing

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Pastoral animals need enough grass, leaves and other fodder. If forest laws allowed herders to remain in forests for only a short time, their animals could not graze for as long as before. The reasoning is: less time in the forest means less opportunity to graze; less grazing means less fodder; insufficient fodder can weaken animals and reduce the productivity of the herd. Option A correctly identifies the problem. Option B is absurd because animals do not begin studying when forest access is restricted. Option C is wrong because a time restriction does not make forest taxes disappear; taxation and access are separate issues. Option D is wrong because routes do not automatically become shorter when the permitted forest period is reduced. The important idea is that colonial controls reduced access to resources needed for livestock. Memory cue: less forest time means less grazing and less fodder.
