The ethnic Karen forest dwellers finally had a reason to feel hopeful in their fight for ancestral rights to live in Kaeng Krachan National Park this week. But it is unlikely to last.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has ruled that the park officials' forest eviction operation of burning the forest dwellers' homes and forcibly moving them to live elsewhere violated both the law and human rights. The commission urged the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) to investigate their officials over abuse of power,
to stop future eviction efforts, to pay compensation, and to allow the Karen forest dwellers to return to their homes.
