Afo survived the destruction of clove trees in the 1700s
The adivasi, or indigenous, people of southern India are among the
poorest in the world. Ignored by the classical caste structure and
shunned by the government, adivasi communities have relied for centuries
on India's forests for food, fuel, and cultural identity. But with
increasing pressures from large scale agriculture, and the growth of
conservation zones and national parks, today their open access to the
forest has almost(?) disappeared. Some particularly marginalized
communities were forcefully relocated out of the forest into
government-built houses.
