Abstract: |
In the last two decades conflicts due to biodiversity conservation projects have been rising all over the world. This is due to the interest at the global level towards environmental protection. It is often implemented at the expense of communities living within and around important biodiversity spots. This paper analyses the violent processes of relocation and displacement from the protected areas of India. Its purpose is to document the illegal relocation of indigenous communities and forest dwellers from such areas. It examines the specific laws and regulations that legalize relocation of inhabitants from their ancestral land in contravention of legal recognition of the community's forest rights under the Forest Rights Act. The paper argues that these results from non-recognition of tenure rights, and mirrors the contradictions embedded in the environmental protection policies not only in India but at the global level as well. |
