It defined the procedure for declaring an area to be a Protected Forest,
Village Forest or Reserved Forest. It also defined what is a forest offence and
the acts prohibited within a Reserved Forest.
The law had a negative impact on the lives of the forest dwellers. Many of
them used to survive by hunting deer, partridges and other small animals. They
were not allowed to do this anymore. They were punished for poaching.
Earlier they used to trade in goods like hides, silk cocoons, horns, ivory,
spices, bamboo, fibres, gums, resins, and grasses. They were deprived of this
trade. Large European trading firms were given the monopoly rights to trade in
the forest products.
OR
The British needed the Indian forests to make ships, railways, and for other commodities. They were worried that the Indian hunters were using all the forest reserves. So, they implemented new forest laws, called the Forest Act, 1927, which adversely affected the hunters, tribals, and the forest dwellers.
The new Forest Act prevented the hunters and forest dwellers to use the trees and forests for their everyday uses that included the fuel, leaves, fodder, grazing of cattle, cutting down wood for housing and fires, collecting roots and fruits etc. Hunting and fishing were banned and they became illegal.
So, the hunters and the tribals were forced to steal wood and other requirements from the forests. If they were caught by the forest officers, then they had to pay the officers bribes who would harass them.
These issues led to many rebellions in India against the British government.

Answer:
As the forest was devided into three categories :-
1. Reserved forest :- where common people was restricted to use it but it was containing many useful trees which was used by people in their daily life but they can't use it
2. Protected forest :- It needs govt. permission to use it. Which often led to the disturbance in the life of common people.
3. Village forest :- which can be used by anyone but this forest was not having useful trees which can be utilize by common people.
Therefore, the daily life of people was totally effected by this system many people became unemployed and in compulsion they started to stole things from the forest but when they were caught by the Britisher given very harsh punishment.
