In south-east Cameroon, the Baka’s land has been turned into Protected Areas, supported by WWF, and the Baka have been evicted from their forest. Yvonne, whose ancestral land now lies inside Lobéké National Park, can’t access the forest any more. She explains that she can no longer find the food she needs to feed her children, and on which the Baka way of life depends. The government and conservation organizations, including WWF, prevent the Baka from accessing their forest, putting their very existence at stake. It’s a green genocide.

#TribalVoice 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
