The way that Britain treated the inhabitants of what is now known as the British Indian Ocean Territory is one of the most shameful episodes in British post-war history. Now these beautiful islands face another crossroads. Richard Freeman found this website:
"The Chagos Archipelago represents a magnificent conservation opportunity that could be of lasting benefit to humanity. There can be few places on this planet that represent better value for leveraging spectacular returns. What is needed is vision and a leadership initiative by Britain to create the Chagos as an iconic, pristine area held in trust for the future of the world community."
