Tribal Representatives Speak out About UN Forest Proposal
Indigenous leaders from across the globe worry a proposed United Nations plan to prevent deforestation could end up being a bad deal for the native communities that live in and off of forests.
Representatives of indigenous groups from more than 70 countries meet at the United Nations in New York City. Top on their agenda is how a United Nations mechanism to reduce deforestation will affect native communities. Host Bruce Gellerman reports that the groups who depend most on intact forests might actually suffer from an international mechanism to preserve them.
