Plz sign & amplify (1/n)
First we enlist particular issues with the #draftLDAR2021 from an ecological, social, livelihoods and legal perspective

Read Annexure 1 …shadweepresearchcollective.weebly.com/annexures
Our main findings:

1. The #draftLDAR2021 can severely erode the ecological resilience and future habitability of Lakshadweep through incautious land use changes.

Read Annexure 2
…shadweepresearchcollective.weebly.com/annexures
2. The #draftLDAR2021 is blind to customary land tenure & resource governance in Lakshadweep and disregards the importance of Commons (beaches & lagoons) in society

3. The #draftLDAR2021 threatens pole-and-line fisheries - the prevailing livelihood activity in Lakshadweep - by severing its connections to land.

4. The #draftLDAR2021 paves the way for 'tourism development' modelled on Maldives. This is not feasible for Lakshadweep given differences in geography, ecology, socio-politics & economy between the two regions
Are there better development frameworks to emulate?

Read Annexure 5
5. The #draftLDAR2021 violates fundamental rights of the citizens of Lakshadweep, is contrary to important Constitutional principles, other legislations and Supreme Court orders.

We hope this combined effort based on decades of research adds weight to the voices of the people in Lakshadweep. #SaveLakshadweep
