Context:

A total of 13,450 families from 26 protected areas (PA) across the country were displaced between 1999 and 2020 as a part of the Union government’s ‘protect and conserve model’, a new study has found.

Concept:

  • The model involves creation of inviolate areas for the conservation of biodiversity and wildlife in the Protected Areas — that comprise wildlife sanctuaries, national parks and conservation reserves.
  • The process includes displacing the populations inhabiting those areas.
