Tribals protest against the summit

Ponnampet, Feb. 10: Tribals protested against the organization of the summit on February 9 at Nanachi in Nagarhole forest by the Nagarhole Adivasi Jammapale Rights Establishment Committee. Speaking on the occasion, Nagarhole Adivasi Jammapale Rights Establishment Committee Gram Sabha Federation President J.K. Thimma said that the central government has called an international tiger summit and has allocated Rs. 150 crore for the tiger summit and its work in the 2026 central budget. The Tiger Summit, which is being organized by the IBCA (International Board on Conservation of Wildlife), World Wildlife Fund for Nature, industrialists, environmentalists, and various NGOs, with the cooperation of 20 countries, is nothing but a plan to invest in forests and loot them on a large scale in the name of green credit. They expressed dissatisfaction that the destruction of forests in the name of tourism is a plan to uproot tribals from traditional boundaries.
