India's Tiger Population Rebounds, But at What Cost to Indigenous Groups?

TL;DR Summary
India's tiger population has grown to over 3,000 since the launch of its conservation program 50 years ago, but Indigenous groups say they have been displaced by wildlife conservation projects over the last half-century. The conservation model centered around creating protected reserves where ecosystems can function undisturbed by people, but several Indigenous groups say the conservation strategies meant uprooting numerous communities that had lived in the forests for millennia. The Indian government's tribal affairs ministry has repeatedly said it is working on Adivasi rights.
