            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.

                  TAKE ACTION  
                  Thanks for being involved,

                  John Hayduska

              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.

                  SUCCESS  
           

              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.

                  SUCCESS
