People in the know will be aware of the tug of war between the conservation lobby and the tribal activists over pros and cons of the act in question. To allay fears of the eco brigade, the govt says it will take steps to ensure that forest land holders will have to practice sustainable use, ensure the ecosystem stays protected and lend a helping to eco-conservation efforts. All said and done, recent data show that deforestation and logging has reached major levels and real doubts exists whether the act and its implementation will really help things take a turn for the better.
To further buttress their claim, the Union Government has announced that 28 existing tiger reserves and eight new proposed tiger reserves be defined as critical tiger habitats under the amended Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and thus make them outside the purview of the Forest Rights Act. An enhanced resettlement programme of more than a million people resting on a budget of 4000 crore and covering almost close to 300 forest villages is presently being implemented.
Will this Act really help preserve India’s rich nay dwindling forest resources? Very recently, 250 sq km of Forest near Ranchi which were permitted for use by locals had seen utter devastation with not even one tree left now. Not much comfort really. Imagine three million to four million people currently live within India’s 602 protected areas, including 28 tiger reserves. Human co-existence with animals is far fetched to say the least and more so utopian in concept that the chances of success.
