Why aren't conservationists joining the fight against poverty?

The Campaign to Make Poverty History is backed not only by a
coterie of high-profile celebs (including both Bono and Bono's
sunglasses) but by 39 prominent nongovernmental organizations -
not one of which is a conservationist group. What gives?. http://www.grist.org/comments/soapbox/2005...sen-poverty/?so

Perusing the list, I can see why the conservation groups aren't jumping on the porkwagon. They know a FristFryFeed when they see it......

Operation Blessings a non-governmental organization (HA!) It's Pat Robertson's little cover....loaded with his kin on the board. "Faith-Based" $$$$$$ flowing in even as Pat "abhors" it....oooohhhh yes! Don't........Stop!........Don't....Stop!...don't...stop..don't...stopdon'tstopdon'tstop.....

PLANUSA is a front for the following governmental entities- think CIA and NSA covers:

United States Department of State - the State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (State/PRM) provided grant support for Plan's Afghan Refugee Health project in five Pakistan border camps allowing over 70,000 Afghan refugees to access health and education services.

United States Department of Labor - Plan Phillipines was awarded a Child Labor and Education grant.(Makin' sure those slavewages stay in place with CAFTA and NAFTA...gotta keep "the clients" happy.)

Multi-Lateral Donors

World Bank - Plan USA helps manage the flow of grants from the Bank through host governments to Plan in local communities. ( AND taking a cut of the action for their "connections"??????)
