Community Forest Resource Rights (CFR) are the rights of Adivasi and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFD) over customary common forest land within the traditional or customary boundaries of the village or seasonal use of landscape in the case of pastoral communities.

CFR rights are given under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (FRA).
The Forest Rights Act (FRA) 2006 recognizes and vest the forest rights and occupation in Forest land in Forest Dwelling Scheduled Tribes (FDST) and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFD) who have been residing in such forests for generations.
National Forest Policy, 1988 was aimed at maintaining environmental stability and ecological balance through conservation of forests as a natural heritage.
The Gram Sabha is the authority to initiate the process for determining the nature and extent of Individual Forest Rights (IFR) or Community Forest Rights (CFR) or both that may be given to FDST and OTFD.
These can be recognised over any forest land including reserved forests, protected forests and protected areas such as Sanctuaries and National Park.
