The Global Environment
Facility (GEF) is the main intergovernmental mechanism
for addressing 'global' environmental problems and is
the main vehicle for international funding for the Convention
on Biological Diversity (CBD). The 'cornerstone' of GEF
biodiversity projects is the promotion of protected areas
- most of which overlay the lands and territories of indigenous
peoples. Yet indigenous peoples have repeatedly claimed
that these conservation schemes ignore their rights and
undermine their livelihoods. This critical study sets
out to examine these problems, identify their causes and
recommend solutions.
