Abstract
The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act 2006, commonly known as the FRA, is the first legislation to explicitly address the historically ignored rights of forest dwellers in India. It recognizes that forest-dwellers “are integral to the very survival and sustainability of the forest ecosystem” and confers on them (among other rights) community forest resource rights to sustainably manage and conserve forests and the biodiversity therein (CFR rights), and outlines a mechanism for their exercise.
