What impact can the bid to double global protected areas have on the tribes in India
Discussing the potential implications of the global initiative to increase protected areas on the indigenous tribes in India.
- Increased protected areas could lead to further displacement of indigenous tribes in India from their ancestral lands.
- Loss of access to natural resources essential for their survival, such as water, food, and medicinal plants.
- Potential disruption of cultural traditions and practices that are closely tied to the land being designated as protected areas.
- Possible restriction of hunting and gathering practices vital for the livelihoods of many indigenous tribes.
- Lack of consultation and participation of indigenous communities in the decision-making process regarding the creation of protected areas.
