Dahanu Taluka’s environment-legal history is unique and extensive. This area is protected by several legal laws, the two Notifications (CRZ Notification and Dahanu Notification) and several judgements of the highest legal authority of the land. For centuries, Dahanu has been home to the masses of all major religions, it is important to take a detailed note of its diversified philosophy which is deeply rooted in instilling a sense of pride about its history, culture and heritage.
Thane district is also known as the ‘home of adivasis’, of which, a significant number belong to the Warli tribe, the original settlers of this region. Dahanu Taluka has the highest proportion of them at 66%.
In this context, Dahanu Taluka has been declared a Tribal Area under the Tribal Sub-Plan of the Government Of Maharashtra and subsequently enacting of two special laws: the first one being the Maharahtra Land Revenue Code and Tenancy Laws (Amendment) Act (XXXV of 1974) also known as the Invalid Transfer Act and the second one being the Maharashtra Restoration of Land to Scheduled Tribes Act (No. XIV of 1975), known as the Valid Transfer Act covering the period post April 1, 1957.
In 1991, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India, formally recognised the Tribal Culture and Marine & Horticultural Wealth of the region and passed the Dahanu Notification declaring Dahanu Taluka as an ecologically fragile zone. The Notification still stands today.
