Relocation of Indigenous Tribes: Socio-Ecological Implications and Environmental Concerns

Abstract

This research paper explores the relocation of indigenous tribes and its socio-ecological implications, with a focus on the environmental concerns arising from such displacement. Indigenous communities worldwide often face forced relocation due to various factors, including land exploitation, development projects, and environmental degradation. Drawing upon a socio-ecological framework, this paper examines the multifaceted impact of relocation on indigenous peoples’ social, cultural, and ecological well-being. It also investigates the broader environmental consequences of displacement, including habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and resource exploitation. By integrating insights from environmental sociology, indigenous studies, and ecological anthropology, this paper seeks to raise awareness of the interconnectedness between human societies and the environment and advocate for more sustainable and just approaches to development and conservation.
