🌳 India is home to 105 Mn+ tribal people, many of whom depend on forests for their lives & livelihoods.
Nearly 20 yrs since the Forest Rights Act, millions have gained forest rights — but on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, it’s time to ask: how can more tribal communities be empowered to manage their resources?
📖 A new @UNDP_India report highlights the need for a shift beyond title distribution towards stronger tribal development.

The recognition of #Community Conserved Areas will enable a process-oriented approach towards achieving the targets under the Global #Biodiversity Framework, says @iamRavinashi https://t.co/dMVWEzY5bD
This is mostly a market argument. With community stewardship, you need to negotiate with multiple entities. Chances of all agreeing for any program is difficult and therefore risky. @prchoudhury
As evidences galore around contributions of triple drivers for biodiversity conservation outcomes - community stewardship, state trusteeship & market influence, financial incentive viz CBI can only have limited impact. It’s whole assumption is flawed https://t.co/cO0Fyf8DV6

@_Vaishnavi_R Thanks Vaishnavi, the article beautifully captures the complexity of governance of commons in the changing legal environment. There is a need to engage with these issues.
@_Vaishnavi_R @ManshiAsher Have time in your hand? Listen to their stories patiently, you will get their language. You may not get it in the climate change language but will understand their struggles and their thoughts. Climate change language has not been able to capture the nuances. Nuances are key!
@DFO_ATHMALLIK This is because of free grazing of cattle/livestock after monsoon. Many people do not take rabi, few who have water resources need to fence their fields to protect from stray cattles. They harvest these poles for fencing.
During #WorldCommonsWeek, @subratasingh and Pooja Chandran review what can be done to improve the governance of common lands - including better organisation of custodial agencies, and improving access to data - to overcome the Tragedy of the Commons
