Tribal Communities and Environmental Protection in India: An Analytical Study

Abstract

Today's globalised society, the most concern issue is the environmental disaster. Tribal peoples are better than anyone else at caring for their ecosystems since their life depends on it. Several indigenous people have recognised their obligation to conserve forests in order to counteract climate change and protect the environment since the historical past. Rather than acknowledging indigenous peoples' rights to their land, India's government has built more parks, carried out more evictions, and attempted to attract more visitors. Government and semi-government efforts are harming our environment in the name of development policy. On the other hand, the tribal community is attempting to conserve our environment through its rules and rituals. Tribal knowledge has become an important strategy to save our ecosystem in current times. The essay focuses on traditional tribal wisdom, which is a vital tool for environmental protection in the present period. I used both qualitative and quantitative methods in this article
