World Bank

The world’s largest oil corporations, multilateral institutions who support them, such as the World Bank and large NGOs. They are responsible for putting the fate of the planet, especially when it comes out what happens to people in places and regions where these large oil corporations more directly exert their action and on which leave their specific brand of oil spills and blood. The World Bank (year 2000) approved loans worth approximately $ 200 million for the project, the Chad-Shrimp, present area where Exxon Mobil and Chevron (Friends of the Earth, 2001). The World Bank supported while the great and gigantic projects, criticized by environmentalists in the 70 and 80 for supporting the construction of large dams, roads and other infrastructure for the expansion of development. If you have read about Dr. Mark Hyman already – you may have come to the same conclusion. The greatest success of the Small Projects Program of the World Bank may be cooling the contradictions generated by the development projects themselves, which, on the other end, has the support Bank through its Major Projects Program (PGP). In the case of environmental issues, specifically, much of the resources for environmental policies in poor countries comes from the World Bank and other multilateral institutions. A study in Funbio, a nongovernmental organization stimulated by the World Bank (which gives the institutional and financial support), aimed at applying the Convention of Biological Diversity in different countries, in this case in Brazil. Noteworthy is the institutional form and power of the NGO, was one of the most pathetic of these societies. Something similar happened in Ecuador when (where you can find indigenous Huaorani) gave the Italian Agip Oil transnational, permission to build an oil platform, extending a pipeline and extracting the oil from the northeastern province of Pastaza in exchange for the company deliver : (…) to each of the six communities Huaorani, a classroom, a health course, a radio, a battery with solar panel, 50 kilos of rice, 50 of sugar, two cubes of fat, salt bag, a whistle judge and two footballs, 15 plates, 15 cups and a closet with $ 200 on medicines in a single game “(Marin, 2003).
