Episode 31: Soligas
from Beyond the Wild Hosted by Beyond the Wild
The Soligas have thrives for thousands of years in the forests of India. In recent decades, they were forced from their ancestral land and made to build a whole new way of life. But they fought back, and they won. Now, the Soligas live in their forest and help protect their diety, the tiger. This story is a great lesson in how indigenous rights are a part of conservation. And when indigenous people are protected, the environment can be protected too.
