My report on the indigenous communities of Madhya Pradesh and the historic tussle for their natural resources against India's major plans for afforestation.
Produced with the Environmental Justice Story Grant 2022 by the Earth Journalism Network
@earthjournalism
“The CAMPA Act is flawed because it assumes the availability of free land to create new forests,” said Dr Nitin Rai, a political ecologist.
“That’s not true in India anymore."

Standing on the edge of a field in Kesla, in central Madhya Pradesh, 49-year-old Sabbulal pointed at the Tawa reservoir stretching across, and the forests bordering the other bank. "This is our life, but it is being taken from us, bit by bit. Where do we live?", he asked 1/n

Zoos in India face an acute crisis: with barely enough skilled staff to run them, they're just "ad-hoc animal collections" with no focus on conversation, or research.
I analysed annual reports of 74 zoos to find startling facts.

I really don't think millennials understand how competitive the job and higher education market is. We're literally scared of being unemployed even with 2 degrees, sorry we don't have time to walk along a beach
Folks in their early 20s on here talking about side hustles and investing and learning hacks and career claptrap, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Go fall in love and read books and walk along the beach and be emo and do stuff you'll not get to do again, man. What's wrong with all of you?

However, these Adivasi villagers taught themselves how to fish, and came together to form a historic organization in Kesla - a tribal fishing cooperative called the Tawa Matsya Sangh. They demanded fishing rights from the Madhya Pradesh state govt in 1996 3/n

Now, 15 years later, the same Adivasis in Kesla stand to lose access to another major natural resource - their forests. The reason? India's National Afforestation plans under Green India Mission and Compensatory Afforestation 6/n
