A deep dive into ATREE’s effort that is converging knowledge systems - traditional wisdom, satellite data and state records - to support forest-dwelling communities reclaim rights and their identity
It is truly wonderful to read about the complex problems relating to village land being solved through the use of good sense, technology, and above all, the inclusion of the villagers in the effort. I wish this is applied all over the country, and that it puts to rest the relentless deforestation and misuse of village lands.
Forest-dwellers and their right over their ancestral land and its produce MUST be protected. Petition under Article 32 should be filed before Supreme Court.
