Say petition against Forest Rights Act does not help wildlife conservation and should be withdrawn

More than 30 of India’s top ecologists, scientists and wildlife conservationists and have demanded that the petitioners withdraw their case against the Forest Rights Act and the government ensure the February 13 order of the Supreme Court for eviction of about 1.89 million tribal and forest-dwelling families be withdrawn.

They have called the Supreme Court order ‘unjust’ to the tribals as well as against the interest of wildlife conservation in India. In a statement issued jointly by the scientists they said, “We do not regard this order as pro-conservation. On the contrary, it is a real setback for conservation in India. We do not agree with the claim of the petitioners in this case that their positions represent the interests of conservation.”

The joint statement comes as a response to petition filed by a few wildlife groups along with retired forest officials against the constitutional validity of the Forest Rights Act. Responding to their subsequent plea in the case, the Supreme Court, on February 13 ordered the summary forcible eviction of around 1.89 million tribal and forestdwelling families whose claims to traditional forestlands have been rejected under the law.
