According to the Indian Forest Act of 1865 most of the basic means of livelihood of the forest dwelling tribes were banned by the British.
The daily practices of villagers, such as cutting wood, grazing cattle, collecting fruits and roots, and fishing, were banned and made illegal.
Forest dwelling tribes largely depended on hunting small animals like deer, rabbit and partridge for food.
The British also imposed a ban on the hunting of small animals.
They encouraged the sport of hunting of wild and dangerous animals like the elephant, lion and tiger, by giving rewards.
If anyone was caught hunting illegally, they were severely punished for poaching.
Even shifting cultivation, which had been practiced for several generations by the forest tribes, was banned.

The Indian forest act, 1927 was largely based on previous Indian Forest Acts implemented under the British.
The 1865 act was a precursor to the Forest Act of 1878, which truncated the centuries-old traditional use by communities of their forests and secured the colonial governments control over the forestry.The act of 1865 empowered the British government to declare any land covered with trees as a government forest and make rules to manage
