The elephant in the room. There is a nasty anti-human streak that runs down the spine of the environmentalist movement. Animal Park -The dark side of Congos ecology efforts A multi-million Euro international fund is supporting Congos Virunga National Park. But the money is being spent on rape, murder and forced relocation. The rangers cut my husbands head off and carried his decapitated body through the village, remembers an elderly widow. Her husband died trying to oppose the parks policies. In the name of protecting the pristine nature reserve, the village of Moramba has been burned down, while the local population is being forcibly relocated and forbidden from cultivating the land, taking away their livelihoods. The chief warden of the park argues that the local population doesnt understand the importance of safeguarding nature. But as another widow aptly questions, how can you safeguard nature by killing people? In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation. ~ Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, First President of the World Wildlife Fund, Reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (DPA), August, 1988.
