Which Forest Act, gives rights to the Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers to ownership, collect and dispose of minor forest produce?
Answer: C
The Act is the Forest Rights Act, 2006.
The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 recognises individual and community rights of forest dwellers, including the right of ownership, access to collect, use and dispose of minor forest produce such as tendu leaves, bamboo and honey, as well as rights over forest land they cultivate and community forest resources.
The Indian Forest Act, 1927 is a regulatory law that treats minor forest produce largely as government property. The Forest Conservation Act, 1980 controls diversion of forest land, and the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 protects wild animals and plants; neither confers these rights.
