The Forest Rights Act (FRA) is an Indian legislation granting legal recognition and rights to forest-dwelling communities and tribes over ancestral lands they inhabit. Enacted in 2006, FRA aims to address historical injustices, protect traditional livelihoods, and conserve biodiversity. It provides mechanisms for communities to claim ownership and access to forest resources, emphasizing community forest management and the protection of indigenous rights within the framework of sustainable development.
