Tool: “Conservation Watch”
Conservation Watch aims to facilitate discussion about the real impacts of protected area policy and practice in the Global South. The current model of conservation is too often flawed and unfair. Conservation Watch aims to shed light on how indigenous peoples and local communities continue to pay the price for conservation. Posts will highlight evictions and human rights abuses in the name of conservation, and document the impact of national parks on the livelihoods of local communities.
