Communal land rights

Communal land rights refer to a system where a community collectively owns and manages land, rather than individual ownership. In this setup, the community members have the right to use, access, and benefit from the land based on traditional agreements or customs, rather than private titles. This arrangement often occurs in rural or indigenous areas, supporting social cohesion and sustainable resource use. While individuals may have usage rights, the land remains under collective control, with decisions typically made by community leaders or elders, ensuring benefits for the entire group rather than individual profit.
