indigenous people.

The strategy for the protection of the ingenious communities is to see that,
the dependency of the tribal communities on the forest has to be diverted. The alternative source
of livelihood may the involvement of tribal communities in the tourism related activities. The
main resources of the development and implement the tourism projects are the forest resources,
these resources enable them to perform the activities like trekking, development of eco-tourism
zones, jungle walk, night hacking, wildlife viewing and nature trails are some of the viable
activities in the forests of Andhra Pradesh. This tourism activity helps them to earn money and
creates the ownership of the resources. The protection of the rights of the tribal people and
support their minimum living facilities and provide additional income through allied activities
like tourism help them to empower. Finally the comfortable life of the tribal people helps in
conservation of the forest resources and leads to the sustainable co-existence of the indigenous
communities and forest resources.
