The rights of the scheduled tribes are not
affected in core areas of tiger reserves.
Is it the same for national parks and
wildlife sanctuaries????
As per the FRA, 2006 , the Ministry of Environment and
Forests (MoEF) has been identified as the agency to determine and notify
Critical Wildlife Habitats (CWH).
Section 2(b) of the FRA, 2006 defines CWHs as areas within
National Parks and/or Wildlife Sanctuaries that are determined on a case by
case basis, following a set of scientific and objective criteria, and are
required to be kept inviolate for the purpose of wildlife conservation. Not d
entire NP/WS's are declared as inviolate... it is determined by a process where
d declared area is inviolate & in rest of d area they enjoy d rights
permitted by FRA.
In tiger reserves though the core area is inviolate, still scheduled
tribes rights are not affected sir
Section 4(2) has answer to your query. Have a look at it. if
still not clear, get back
The act provides for modification of rules, provided that no
forest rights holders affect the purpose of creating inviolate areas for
wildlife conservation.
Wildlife act of 1972 empowers state governments to access
the damage of such rights.
If the state governments conclude that the possibility of
coexistence are not available, the zone remains inviolate
