Petition
Tell
the World Bank to stop financing evictions and human rights abuses
in Tanzania!
Dear friends of the rainforests,
It sounds great on paper: Tanzania's
REGROW project would double the size of Ruaha National Park to over
2,000,000 hectares – roughly the area of Wales or the US state of
New Jersey.
But the move is not about protecting
wildlife: It's an oppressive and violent economic growth model
designed to boost tourism revenues. It means evicting over 20,000
people under the pretext of conservation.
The World Bank is enabling this move,
which will trample the rights of Indigenous people and local
villagers. The World Bank is a taxpayer-funded body – so it’s up to
us to end its complicity.
Please sign our petition and tell the
World Bank to stop financing evictions and human rights abuses.

Thanks for being
involved,

Stop
EACOP
The trial of nine young environmental
activists in Uganda is finally over. On Monday, a court in Kampala
dismissed the case against the students who had been arrested while
peacefully protesting the EACOP oil pipeline. The activists stood
their ground for more than a year and intend to keep fighting.

News
Work on a “Jurassic Park” tourist
attraction is transforming the Komodo Islands in eastern Indonesia
and threatening the habitat of the unique Komodo dragons. Excavators
have moved in, construction cranes are turning and protests are
being brutally suppressed.

Success
According to a decision by the Chilean
Council of Ministers for Sustainability, the Humboldt Archipelago is
now a marine protected area. This is a significant step forward in
environmental policy for this biodiversity hotspot.
