Are tribal communities protected in Andaman Islands today?

The local administration and the central government is heavily concerned with the protection of the Andaman tribes. There are special laws that limit access to tribal reserves and commercial exploitation of the land and resources. Healthcare support, nutrition and monitoring teams are operating behind the scenes to facilitate the lack of safety without interfering with conventional lifestyles. There is also increased awareness on the part of tourists that promote responsible travelling. These steps would maintain the cultural identity, preserve natural habitats, and leave the native people to live the way they used to.
