Unfortunately, the legacy of this ruthless ideal is alive today in places like East Africa and India, according to Robert Williams, a University of Arizona legal scholar. Weekly, the United Nations special rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous peoples receives reports of governments, supported by wealthy nations and organizations, resorting to evictions, destruction of farms and confiscation of livestock to get Indigenous residents off land destined for eco-tourism and wildlife protection.

These models don’t involve evictions or other forms of human rights abuses and instead rely on [Indigenous-led conservation practices](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnt0mCP0TtaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FtcGFpZ25mb3JuYXR1cmUub3JnLzMweDMwLWFuZC1pbmRpZ2Vub3VzLXBlb3BsZXMtYW5kLWxvY2FsLWNvbW11bml0aWVzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjQwMjIwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNTYxMiZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTg2NjAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmXUgsTUZbG1gTRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), which “have proved time and again to protect biodiversity effectively,” writes Williams.
