967% increase in Indigenous displacement from Indian tiger reserves since 2021! ≈290,000 forcibly evicted. Peaceful coexistence is possible. #IndigenousRights #TigerConservation #India

India's Project Tiger aims to protect tigers, but it's caused 90,000 Indigenous peoples to be displaced. Now, another 450,000 are at risk for eviction despite studies showing that both Indigenous peoples and tigers can coexist safely.

Gov't corruption & corporate profit are driving the displacement of 650 Indigenous villages in India. They're promised 1.5M rupees, but 400K is taken for 'home-building'. Collaboration with Indigenous peoples leads to better conservation, not evictions.
