Resumen

La conservación de la biodiversidad y los recursos naturales puede ayudar a ofrecer un suministro sostenible de bienes y servicios para cumplir los derechos de las personas a su desarrollo y sustento. Sin embargo, cuando se consideran los impactos sociales económicos y culturales en la población local, de la conservación ambiental ciertos resultados no son alentadores en la India (ni en todo el mundo). Los proyectos de conservación que excluyen a los habitantes de dichas áreas pueden conservar los recursos naturales hasta cierto punto, pero no el acceso a los medios de vida de estas personas. Por tanto, siendo la India un país densamente poblado no puede alentar la estrategia de "naturaleza prístina" en sus iniciativas de conservación.

Palabras clave

Derecho Ambiental, refugiados, cambio climático, desarrollo sostenible, conservacionismo.
