| Brief narrative |
Under the guise of forest protection and development 6000 indigenous peoples have been forced out of their dwellings, and pushed to the peripheries of the park. The prospective development of this area into an eco-tourist sited under the Taj Company, funded by the World Bank, could displace up to 32,000 peoples.rn | ||||||||||
