“Now, we have become free”

Célestin, from the Baka people in the Congo, explains that the appalling violence they faced for years at the hands of WWF-funded ecoguards has reduced thanks to the international campaign led by Survival together with the Baka, against the Messok Dja project. But the rights of the Baka to their lands have still not been recognized and without access to the forest, their very survival is threatened. It’s a green genocide.

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://svlint.org/TribalVoice
