Dear friend,
We have BIG news ([link removed]) ! Survival has been campaigning to #DecolonizeCONservation ([link removed]) for years, and following mounting pressure from the global media, Germany has frozen funds to WWF for Salonga National Park!
This comes after the revelations ([link removed]) that WWF funds, equips and works directly with forces that torture, rape and kill people.
The news sets a powerful precedent for other governments and conservation non-profits guilty of funding such horrific abuse: Human rights and conservation MUST go hand in hand.

It's a huge step in the right direction, and one which your support has played a crucial role in. And the good news continues – other investigations are now underway in the U.S. and UK into WWF’s involvement in atrocities against indigenous people.
But it's not just WWF or Salonga National Park. We're pushing for the EU Commission and U.S. to withdraw funding from Messok Dja ([link removed]) in the Congo, where the Baka fear for their lives ([link removed]) .
We'll never give up the fight against human rights abuses happening in the name of conservation. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this work possible!
Yours,
Alice Raymond
Survival International
