An FDST nuclear family would be entitled to the land currently occupied subject to a maximum of 2.5 hectares.
In core areas of National Parks and Sanctuaries, an FDST would be given provisional land rights for five years, within which period he would be relocated and compensated.
The Bill outlines 12 forest rights which include the right to live in the forest, to self cultivate, and to use minor forest produce. Activities such as hunting and trapping are prohibited.
‘Community rights’ includes rights such as (a) ownership, access to collect, use and dispose of minor forest produce, (b) fishing and grazing, and (c) conversion of all forest villages into revenue villages.
The Gram Sabha shall monitor the Forest Rights Committee constituted for the protection of wildlife, forest and biodiversity. It has to approve all decisions of the committee pertaining to the issue of transit permits to transport minor forest produce, use of income from sale of produce, or modification of management plans. The collection of minor forest produce is to be free of all fees. The committee has to prepare a conservation and management plan for community forest resources.
