An undercover investigation by BuzzFeed News accuses the World Wide Fund for Nature, known as WWF, of supporting alleged paramilitary killers to stop poaching. The yearlong investigation “across six countries—based on more than 100 interviews and thousands of pages of documents, including confidential memos, internal budgets, and emails discussing weapons purchases” will be published over the coming days, according to the publication’s website. “WWF has provided high-tech enforcement equipment, cash, and weapons to forces implicated in atrocities against indigenous communities,” BuzzFeed claims. “Villagers have been whipped with belts, attacked with machetes, beaten unconscious with bamboo sticks, sexually assaulted, shot, and murdered by WWF-supported anti-poaching units, according to reports and documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.” The exposé continues: “The charity has operated like a global spymaster, organizing, financing, and running dangerous and secretive networks of informants motivated by ‘fear’ and ‘revenge,’ including within indigenous communities, to provide park officials with intelligence—all while publicly denying working with informants.”
