Nature and Process of Relocation of Villages: Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra

The advent of biodiversity conservation in contemporary environmentalism towards the end of the twentieth century (Zimmerer 2006) and its relationship with conventional methods of protecting areas for conservation purposes throughout the colonial era (Brockington 2002) have become a contentious discourse. Concerns regarding equity and justice have increased significantly. These concerns include how we distribute costs, benefits, rights, and responsibilities; how we give different cultures and beliefs a voice; and how we make trade-offs between current and future generations, individual rights and the greater good, and humans and non-humans (Shoreman-Ouimet and Kopnina 2015).
