Report exposes the dark side of conservation

A report launched by Survival International-the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights—reveals how conservation has led to the eviction of millions of tribal people from"protected areas,"since"protected areas"like national parks should generally be "no go"for mining, agriculture, dams, roads and pipelines.

Survival's report shows that nearly all protected areas are, or have been, the ancestral homelands of tribal peoples, who have been dependent on, and managed them for thousands of years.But in the name of "conservation",tribal peoples are "being illegally driven out"from these lands and accused of”poaching"; meanwhile, tourists and fee-paying big-game hunters are welcomed in.

Bushman Dauqoo Xukuri from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana said,"I sit and look around the country.Wherever there are bushmen, there is game.Why?Because we know how to take care of animals."

Survival's report concludes that the current model of conservation needs a radical shake-up. Conservation must stick to international law, protect tribal peoples' rights to their lands, listen to them, and then be prepared to back them up as much as they can. Survival's Director Stephen Corry said,Millions are being spent by conservationists every year, and vet the environment's in deepening crisis.Its time to wake up and realize that there is another way and it's much.much better. Firstly, tribal peoples rights’ have to be acknowledged and respected. Secondly, they have to be treated as the best experts at defending their own lands.Conservationists must realize it's they, themselves, who are junior partners."
