WWF is supporting the creation of a new protected area in Congo, Messok Dja. The Baka haven’t given their consent to the park. In this video Dede, a Baka man, explains why they don’t want the park and why what conservationists are doing is terrible. Tribal people must be at the center of conservation efforts on their lands. It’s time to listen to them. #DecolonizeConservation -- Act Now: https://svlint.org/StopMessokDja -- Tribal Voice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies. From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed. Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved: https://svlint.org/TribalVoice
