The nine families demanded that the authorities intervene and do the study to remedy their concerns on June 1, 2022.
On May 8, 2022, land was cleared without notice after community members alleged they had harmed several hectares of crops. Furthermore, the clearing obliterated places where the community had previously found non-timber forest products.
