WWF Germany has been warned of human rights failings by an independent investigation launched after BuzzFeed News exposed how anti-poaching forces funded by the global charity have tortured and killed
The World Wide Fund for Nature’s German branch must overhaul its human rights policies, an independent investigation has found after the global mega-charity was implicated in abuses against indigenous people in parks across the world.that have tortured and killed villagers living near wildlife parks it supports.
Löning found that WWF Germany employees were not aware of the human rights rules they were supposed to follow. When WWF Germany begins a conservation project, human rights receive “little attention,” the report found, and it is “unclear” whether the WWF takes “into account” the perspective of people who might be affected by abuses. “Human rights issues do not seem to be dealt with in a structured and comprehensive manner,” the report stated.
Löning was also critical of WWF’s use of informants. Given the dangers of working with undercover agents, he advised that they only be used when no other methods could deliver results and even then when “security measures” have been put in place, including a risk assessment of working with partners who commit human rights abuses.
