Summary of the major issues• Management deficiencies in conservation approach. The sanctuaries andNational Park do not have separate management plans and there is no detailedguideline available for the preparation of the plans. Every Protected Area hasits own situation specific problems which have to be tackled independentlyand hence independent management plans are required.• Lack of holistic approach in Wildlife Management. The present conservationparadigm is borrowed from the Western Concept which ignores theinvolvement of the local people, the primary stakeholders, in the managementprocess. Exclusionary principle of conservation sidelines the local people fromthe conservation scenario, further imposing the cost of conservation on theweakest section of the society who cannot afford it.• The Management system also neglects the potential of the local people inconservation. Local people are good source of traditional knowledge,developed through human nature interfaces over thousand of years. Thereforeconsideration of human face of wildlife management is very important.• Related laws and policies are conflicting and contradictory to each other,effectively exiling people within the Protected Areas from civilization anddebarring them from their basic and fundamental rights.• Mainly legal issues are emerging from rights, control and access over theresources. Our wildlife laws and policies limit the access of the local peopleover the resources which create major conflict. The local people living withinthe PAs critically depend on the natural resources for their sustenance. But ourconservation policy considers the local people as threat therefore restricts theaccess of the local people over the resources. It completely ignores the socialaspect of natural resource management thus converting the potential allies intopoachers causing depletion of the resources, which are not only affectinghumans but also our conservation goals.• The Wildlife (Amendment) Act, 1991 allowed for continuance of rights insidethe sanctuaries. But WLP (Amendment) Act, 2002 made such rights lesspossible by prohibiting all activities that are not ‘beneficial’ to wild life140
(including those that may be neutral in their impact), by committing stategovernments to provide alternatives for all rights as soon as intention wasdeclared to notify a sanctuary, and by prohibiting any commercial activity.• The order of Supreme Court dated 14.02.2000 in I.A 548 in W.P 202 of 1995further restricted the access over the resources by imposing a ban even on thecollection of NTFP. Such a blanket order of the Supreme Court has led to theloss of traditional livelihood and large scale hardship is being faced by theforest dwelling communities including tribals residing within the ProtectedAreas. The order has led to the closure of KL phadis inside many ProtectedAreas, which has adversely affected the livelihoods of the local people. Bambooharvesting has also been stopped. Stopping of bamboo cutting will not onlyadversely affect the growth of the new culms due to over congestion ultimatelyleading to the death of the forest but it has also snatched away means oflivelihood for thousands of people. Without carrying out any research on theimpact of the NTFP collection within the Pas, on what basis can such laws andorders be implemented?• The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Pradeep Kishen vs State of Madhya Pradeshcase has emphasized the need to protect the forest as well as the livelihood ofthe communities dependent on such forests. In the instant case, the Hon’bleSupreme Court upheld the order of issued by the state of Madhya Pradeshpermitting collection of Tendu leaves from the sanctuaries and National Parksby the villagers living in and around the sanctuaries and the national parks, inview of the fact that since final notification under Section 26 A and 35 is yet tobe issued as rights are yet to be settled. The Hon’ble Court held that the StateGovt. (M.P) was not in the position to bar the entry of the villagers living inand around the sanctuaries and national parks so long as their rights were notacquired and final notification is issued. If the state of Madhya Pradesh canmove to the court with its plea and succeed in getting a positive response fromthe Hon’ble Court, then why has such an action not been initiated by the OrissaState Govt. till now?• Non- recognition of the customary uses. Most of the customary uses of the localinhabitants on forests (including other natural resources like water) have not141
