The Forest Rights Act, 2006 has been impactful but faces new threats

The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, commonly known as the forest rights Act, was passed by Parliament in December 2006. It was the third milestone in the rights-based development decade of 2004-14, coming after the Right to Information Act enacted in June 2005 and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) that came into being in September 2005. Finalized after extensive public debate (which also saw opposition from conservationists and wildlife champions), the historic forest rights Act assures basic livelihood security to families residing in forest areas for generations. To a large extent, it redresses historical injustices and does away with the inequities perpetrated by architecture of the Indian Forest Act, 1927, which has governed forest administration in the country. When the law was being framed, there was a clear appreciation that it could, to a very large extent, combat the propaganda of the Maoists who have taken advantage of the insensitivity of the local forest bureaucracy to garner support especially among tribal communities.
