| ----Abstract---- |
| The tribal communities of Orissa face a massive new threat from
legislation for conservation and forestry and their judicial
interpretations, as well as from the increasing onslaughts of
globalisation. The indigenous forest dweller community (mostly the
tribal people) as a whole do not get recognition as owners of land that
they cultivate from generations, even though they do not possess any
records, in fact they do not need to as the entire land is community
owned. |
