Eviction and displacement resulting from the establishment and enforcement of protected areas have resulted in a tug-of-war between conservation ideologies and settlers – both tribal and non-tribal communities in many parts of the world. Rights over land and its alienation are much complex and confusing, especially when viewed under an ecocentric lens. The book, Land Rights, Conservation and People, exemplifies the issue of land rights, conservation and existential crisis where the victims are abnegating to perform customary practices, rituals etc. The book is useful for academicians, policymakers, scholars, researchers, sociologists, ecologists and people involved in the upliftment of marginalized communities.
