In India, the Society for Promotion of Wastelands Development (SPWD) held a National Consultation on Land Grab Issues, highlighting a cross-section of issues ranging from mining and infrastructure development, to the implementation of India?s 2006 Forest Rights Act, as presented in an RRI-supported study. The study demonstrated clear linkages between community lands and local livelihoods, and concluded that appropriate safeguards are needed to prevent government transfer of these lands to industrial interests.
