🗯The Mro People of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) in Bangladesh are under threat of being evicted from their ancestral lands with nowhere to go and everything to lose.

🚩Foreign red flags are scattered around the lush hills of Chimbuk, where a 5-star resort and amusement park is set to be built on Mro ancestral land. The land from which the Mro People eat, sleep, work, pray, where their family and ancestors rest...and have done so for generations. This land —land that holds everything they know— will be replaced by luxury villas, swimming pools and cable cars. Along with these changes, they know from bitter experience, come large dams, a deepening water crisis, environmental destruction and the loss of what’s left of the Mro identity.

💔“To me my land is my life. Without my land there is no way to live happily…If I lose my land, I am no one. I have nothing.”

🗣“I have to keep saying these words, that this is illegal. My strength comes from the fear that we will be lost someday.”

🌏While the Mro community is speaking up against these illegal evictions, they are dependent on the international voices of human rights organisations, and even private individuals through Social Media, in order to be heard. Whether or not we let these construction plans proceed unnoticed determines the future of the Mro communities at Chimbuk Hill.

A UN report has found Indigenous Peoples of Latin America to be by far the best guardians of the regions’ forests. The study shows up to 50% lower deforestation rates in their territories than elsewhere, as reported in an article in The Guardian. 🌿

“Indigenous peoples have a different concept of forests”, “They are not seen as a place where you take out resources to increase your money – they are seen as a space where we live and that is given to us to protect for the next generations.” These were the words of Filac’s president Myrna Cunningham, an Indigenous woman from Nicaragua.

“Indigenous and tribal territories contain about a third of all the carbon stored in the forests of Latin America, said Julio Berdegué, the FAO’s Regional Representative: “These peoples are rich when it comes to culture, knowledge, and natural resources, but some of the poorest when it comes to incomes and access to services.”“

👉 Indigenous Peoples around the world hold generations of invaluable environmental knowledge. Standing with Indigenous Peoples and their rights is foundational for the future of our planet. 🌎
