KACRAN Calls to Protect Cattle Routes and Revive

Kacran is a tribal community in India’s Uttar Pradesh that has been urging the state government to safeguard traditional cattle‑herding pathways and restore them for pastoral use. The group argues that encroachment, road construction and illegal logging have blocked historic routes, threatening the livelihoods of herders and the cultural heritage of the community. Their demands include legal protection of the corridors, re‑forestation of degraded sections, and the establishment of community‑managed grazing zones to revive sustainable cattle‑raising practices.
