Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The atmosphere in India is charged once again over a recurring controversy which pits forest people’s rights against wildlife conservation. Over the last few months, ‘human rights groups’ and ‘wildlife lovers’ have argued about whether tribal land rights promised under the Scheduled Tribes (Recognition of Forest Rights) Bill, 2005 will result in support for India’s deteriorating wildlife habitats or destroy any chances for its survival. Like its colonial predecessor, the Government of India protects terrestrial species’ habitats by declaring them as national parks and sanctuaries from which people are excluded entirely. The resulting conflicts persist unabated and unresolved. The rigidity of this exclusionist approach in terrestrial area management is in stark contrast to the flexible casespecific methods applied for the management of marine resources by government and nongovernment agencies.
