The basis of economic power lies in control and theft (working together). It assumes Africa is there for the taking, as if it is a near-by resource planet. If metals can be taken away by slave labour, no problemo. If some aspect of existing forests can be spun up to being an economic “good,” then that attribute is stolen and sold. And you know what the powerful have always done to little-people in their way. What a sorry excuse for a civilization.

Wow, i am still trying to process this read. It's difficult to hear that organisations such a WWF are connected to such horrendous crimes on indigenous people. Indigenous people only receiving 1% of the funding is one of the stupidest things I have heard in a long time.
