Learning on ScreenSuits and Savages: Why the World Bank Won’t Save the World
- Synopsis
- Examines issues surrounding indigenous land rights and the displacement of people and wildlife in the name of development. Focuses on a conservation project in the Nagarhole National Park in southern India, home to the endangered Bengal tiger and to several indigenous forest-dwelling tribes. Claims that tribe members are being forced to leave the forest against their will as an indirect result of a project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Shows a GEF meeting in India in which Indian activists are highly critical of the GEF and the World Bank. Later, World Bank representatives visit the Nagarhole project and finds merit in the Indian tribe’s complaints.
