    Myanmar forest-protection and indigenous-rights controversy

    FFI faced criticism from ethnic Karen representatives and indigenous-rights advocates over proposals to protect a large forest area in Myanmar. Critics argued that the initiative might displace villages from ancestral lands without free, prior and informed consent and could affect a ceasefire arrangement. FFI said indigenous people were central to its work and that protected-area boundaries would not be set without consent.
