Explain how the African pastoralists affected due to restrictions on the mobility

The Forest Acts imposed severe  restrictions on the mobility of the pastoralists.

• They were  not allowed to enter  forests that were a source of  valuable forage for their cattle.
• In the areas where they were allowed entry, their movements were controlled.
• They needed a permit for entry. There was specific time for  entry and departure . The number of days they could spend in the forest was reduced.
• Pastoralists were not allowed to remain in an area even if forage was available.
• If they overstayed they had to pay fine.
