AIUFWP and CJP make history as Forest Land Claims are filed in Chitrakoot, a forested region in UP, for eight villages. Our teams have been toiling relentlessly in Chitrakoot, even amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, putting together all documentation necessary to file community claims to forest land and conducting online sessions with community leaders and grassroots workers.
CJP has been partnering with AIUFWP, since 2017, and actively working on the issues of land and livelihood rights of Adivasis and traditional forest dwellers, to battle any setback to these rights. In the courts and beyond.
