| Panna Tiger Reserve | India | Gonds, Kairuas, Yadavs, Kathari, Bilhata, Marha, Muthwa, Khamri, Koni, Majohli, Kudan | The majority of Indigenous human rights violations at Panna Tiger Reserve concern ongoing evictions / the dislocation of villages from their ancestral lands within the critical tiger reserve. As the tiger conservation efforts of the reserve were virtually declared a failure in 2009, evictions have rapidly increased since then with the intensification of the NTCA’s conservation strategies, starting with the relocation of the Budrohd, Talgaon, Malanpur, and Jhalar villages and later with the Badhaun village in 2012. |
