Internal WWF Report Finds Fears of Forest Ranger “Repression” At Proposed New Park
In 2010, the charity succeeded in persuading local government officials to designate the forest a potential protected area.
In some of the villages Nziengui-Kassa traveled to, people were “almost favorable” to the idea of the park, he reported. Some said they hoped it would “help destroy the problem of youth unemployment and reduce the conflict with wildlife.”The 2017 report prepared by Sam Nziengui-Kassa. Some whole passages of the WWF EU filing were copy-pasted from the consultant’s report, without noting where the language had come from. This was mostly background information about how local villagers lived, such as the crops they grew and the forest crops they gathered. One lifted passage described how some people earned money doing “artisan gold mining.”
Lewis, the indigenous rights expert, told BuzzFeed News that WWF had behaved as though the park was a “done deal” before it even began consulting with local villagers.
