Question

​ Tribals depend on forests for food and livelihood. Is it fair to prevent them from entering the forests? How can their symbiotic relationship be maintained? Please answer fast as possible

Answer 1

The Tribals, who are forest dwellers have important roles in protection of the forests. This is because their whole lives depend on this natural habitat for survival and most of their activities protect and cherish forests rather than destroy them.
Having this in mind it is important that the government find means and schemes to include forest dwellers in the protection of these habitats. 
- The forest dwellers can be incorporated into the government's plans and strategies of forest protection. They can help by being the first line of defense against destruction of forests and against poaching-working side by side with the forest guards. 

Answer 2

No, their symbiotic relationship can be maintained by allowing them to live peacefully in designated forest areas without interference. Forests are the basic support system for tribals. They provide them employment through harvesting of forests, raising of plantations, and collection and processing of forest product. The forests also supply fuel, fodder and a variety of forest products for subsistence needs of the tribals. The survival and maintenance of forests are also equally dependent on tribals as they are protective of forests.
