ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 2 (Polity, Governance, vulnerable sections) and GS Paper 3 (conservation). The issue is the clash between wildlife protection in tiger reserves and the rights of forest-dwelling PVTGs, governed by the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The implication is a risk of litigation and distrust; the way forward is recognising habitat and community rights, consulting gram sabhas and pursuing co-existence-based conservation.
