Jarawa Tribal Reserve
The Jarawa Tribal Reserve is a protected area located on the western coast of Middle Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Established in 1997, it covers approximately 1,000 square kilometers and is home to the indigenous Jarawa people, who have lived in the region for thousands of years. The reserve aims to preserve their unique culture and way of life while protecting the rich biodiversity of the area.
The reserve is characterized by dense forests, mangroves, and coastal ecosystems, providing habitat for various wildlife species. Access to the Jarawa Tribal Reserve is restricted to protect the tribe and their environment, with specific guidelines in place for visitors. This helps ensure the preservation of both the Jarawa culture and the natural resources of the region.
