Deforestation in the second phase of colonialism (1850 onwards) was due to the increasing number of railways being built in India. Special trees were needed in order to build the ties on the railways and to use as fuel for the trains. Some trees used included, Sal in East India, Teak in South India, Cedar trees in North India, and for firewood, Jhand was used from Punjab. Using all these trees for the railways led to deforestation which led to the timber crisis in India. However, in return the British government did set up the Imperial Forest Department in 1864 to restore all the trees that would have disappeared if action was not taken.
