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.
