Indigenous peoples safeguard 80% of the earth's biodiversity despite being 5% of the global population, yet conservation is not helping.

I bet you thought Conservation is good for the planet right? Like the rest of us you see it as one of the ways we can start turning the environmental and ecological crisis around? Well actually you're right. Unfortunately, the majority of conservation being done - especially by the big dogs such as WWF, Wildlife Conservation Society, The Nature Conservancy - is doing much more harm than good in so many parts of the world. And the way in which this is happening is through organisations violating the human rights of Indigenous and local communities who are often the best in the world at conserving biodiversity.

Indigenous peoples safeguard a whopping 80% of the entire earth's land biodiversity, despite only being 5% of the global population.

This model of conservation, better known as Fortress Conservation, has a sinister and brutal history; a history involving white supremacist colonial settlers violently displacing and murdering countless Indigenous people in order to claim ownership of land. From there the colonisers were able to extract, exploit and export Fortress Conservation across the world. This model remains operational even today, and just as violent, extractive, and destructive.

Conservation is at the intersection between the separation of humans and nature, and of racial capitalism. This is why we must ignite resistance against the further destruction of the natural world by acknowledging the centuries of resistance of Indigenous peoples and local communities, and ensure our work is rooted in solidarity.

Join this event to learn more about Decolonizing conservation and the role organizations like WWF, Sea Shepherd etc are playing in demonizing indigenous People's cultures in the name of conservation. - (Fortress conservation. )

Said Kumbi-a-Wadesa, chairman of the Pokomo tribal council that once derived great power from an awe-inspiring drum called the Ngadji, died this year in April. He never saw the Ngadji because a British officer stole it at gunpoint. It has sat in a storeroom @britishmuseum for 113 years.
“The white man took not just the Ngadji but brought many changes to our society," he said when we met in 2019.

Its theft was an act of subjugation that fractured Pokomo society, and now the added indignity of @britishmuseum refusing to return it even though it sits in a closet.
Kumbi-a-Wadesa had gone blind & knew he'd never glimpse the 3m-tall Ngadji. But it was the Ngadji's roaring boom that gave it God-like power, legend has it, and he held onto hope he'd hear it one day.

“Those who aren’t blind will see it, but I will know that particular sound.”
