THE Soligas’ long struggle ends in victory. After bearing the brunt of wildlife protection measures for years, the inhabitants of the Biligiri Rangaswami Temple Wildlife Sanctuary in Karnataka can now access and manage the forest resources. On October 2, 25 gram sabhas of Soligas got community forest rights (CFR) recognised under the Forest Rights Act (FRA) of 2006. The tribals can now collect, own and dispose of minor forest produce (MFP) from the reserve. Besides protecting and regenerating forest resources for sustainable use, they can also hold customary practices like worshipping sacred places.
