Yet more evidence of abuse in the name of "conservation" exposed.
Dear friend,This week I want to share a new 20-minute documentary with you, filmed in the Messok Dja region of the Congo where Survival works.
The film (which is free to watch) exposes the shocking human rights abuses committed by WWF-funded rangers against the Baka people:
I hope you'll agree that gross human rights violations like those described can never be justified, no matter how "noble" the cause.If you'd like more information about our work with the Baka and our fight to #DecolonizeCONservation, our campaign FAQ is a great place to start.
Best wishes,
Alice
P.S. I also highly recommend the recent report by BuzzFeed News, which exposes yet more horrific cases of WWF funding guards that kill and torture people.
