Protecting Human Rights in International Conservation

Allegations of gross violations of human rights overseas by certain conservation organizations prompted a bipartisan Committee investigation, and we’re getting ready to discuss what we’ve learned. Advocacy groups’ operational procedures and U.S. government oversight of conservation grants need to be dramatically reformed to protect human rights and ensure that conservation is done the right way. Join us for a hearing at 10 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, October 26, for a hearing on protecting human rights in international conservation.
