Forest Rights Act
The Forest Rights Act was enacted in 2006 in India. It aims to recognise the rights of forest-dwelling communities. These communities include Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers. The Act grants them rights to land and resources. It seeks to empower these communities and ensure their livelihoods. The legislation also promotes sustainable forest management. It is a step towards social justice.
