Tribals are being evicted from their land with the argument that they are not interested in the conservation of, say, tigers. What we see the world over is that tribals can be the fiercest guardians of their land. They often inhabit biologically rich areas because they have been guarding it. Tribals inhabit 80 percent of the most biologically rich areas. Evicting tribals from these areas is actually counter-productive. Tribals have a deeply spiritual connection with the world, with a definite goal of conserving that land for future generations. Evicting them forcefully is a violation of their human rights
