hey buddy here is your answer
The lives of the villagers were affected by the forest laws:
Now the villagers were deprived of their customary practices like hunting, cutting, grazing their cattle, collecting fruits, etc.
One of the major impacts was on the practice of shifting cultivations or swidden agriculture.
People were now forced to steal wood from the forests and if they were caught, they were at the mercy of the forest guards who would take bribes from them.
