Biodiversity Rakshak: Traditional Communities Ko Kyun Door Rakha Jaa Raha Hai?
Hindustan mein, biodiversity ko bachane ke liye bahut se protected areas hain. Lekin ek badi problem hai: jo traditional communities in areas ke asli rakshak hain, unhe hi door rakha jaa raha hai. Yeh log sadiyon se nature ke saath harmony mein rahe hain, phir bhi unhe decision-making se systematically exclude kiya jaa raha hai. Aisa kyun ho raha hai?
Kya Ho Raha Hai?
Actually, hota yeh hai ki jab protected areas banaye jaate hain, toh in communities ko management aur development se door rakha jaata hai. Unki expertise aur knowledge ko ignore kiya jaata hai, jo ki biodiversity ke liye bahut important hai. Imagine karo, jisko jungle ka sab pata hai, usko hi jungle ke decision se nikaal diya jaaye!
Kyun Hai Yeh Problem?
Ek toh, bahut se policy makers yeh samajhte nahi ki traditional communities ka conservation mein kitna bada role hai. Dusra, kai baar yeh socha jaata hai ki in logo ko door rakhne se nature ko zyada bachaya jaa sakta hai. Lekin reality toh yeh hai ki yeh communities sustainable practices use karti hain jo environment ke liye best hain.
Iska Impact Kya Hai?
Jab communities ko exclude kiya jaata hai, toh unka culture aur knowledge dheere dheere khatam ho jaata hai. Plus, unke paas koi reason nahi rehta ki woh protected areas ko support karein. Isse conservation efforts kamzor pad jaate hain. Ultimately, biodiversity ka loss hota hai. Socho, agar apne ghar se hi nikaal diya toh kaise lagega?
Ab Aage Kya?
Ab time hai ki sarkar aur conservation organizations in communities ko saath lekar chalein. Unki knowledge ko value karein, unhe decision-making mein involve karein, aur unke rights ko protect karein. Jab sab mil kar kaam karenge, tabhi hum apne environment ko effectively bacha payenge. Yeh sirf ek policy change nahi hai, yeh ek soch badalne ki baat hai. Tabhi Bharat ki asli biodiversity bach payegi!
