Jarawa

The Jarawa are an indigenous tribal community residing in the Andaman Islands of India. They are among the last hunter-gatherer societies, relying on fishing, hunting, and foraging for sustenance. The Jarawa have a rich cultural heritage, characterized by a deep connection to their environment and a unique lifestyle that has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. However, they face significant threats from outside influences, including tourism and deforestation, which jeopardize their traditional way of life. Efforts are ongoing to protect their land and preserve their culture while respecting their autonomy and rights.
