“We’ve had enough of this talk of ‘boundaries’ in the forest”

WWF and the European Commission say they are not aware of human rights violations in the creation of Messok Dja national park. Survival says: Listen to Odette. She shares her experience of beatings and violence at the hands of park rangers when her family tries to enter the forest to fish or collect mangoes for food. As her story shows, the Baka tribe have not given their consent to the park.

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://www.survivalinternational.org/tribalvoice
