On a rainy weekend in the forests of southern India, dozens of Jenu Kuruba people stand under umbrellas at the entrance to the Nagarhole tiger reserve to meet tourists with a message: you are entering our home.
Their goal? To stop the safari tours that promise tourists sightings of the tigers of Nagarhole but which the Jenu Kuruba believe have commercialised the ancestral homes that they were evicted from in the name of conservation.
