THEY'RE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WHO AVOID CONTACT WITH OUTSIDERS. IT'S THEIR CHOICE. UNCONTACTED TRIBES AREN'T PRIMITIVE RELICS OF A REMOTE PAST. THEY LIVE IN THE HERE AND NOW. THEY ARE CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES, A VITAL PART OF HUMANKIND'S DIVERSITY, AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE MOST BIODIVERSE PLACES ON EARTH. WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THEM BUT WE DO KNOW THEY HAVE VAST BOTANICAL AND ZOOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND A UNIQUE UNDERSTANDING OF SUSTAINABLE LIVING. THERE'S IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THEIR TERRITORIES ARE THE BEST BARRIER TO DEFORESTATION, PARTICULARLY IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION) DECOLONIZE CONSERVATION --INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ARE THE BEST CONSERVATIONISTS AND GUARDIANS OF THE NATURAL WORLD. EVIDENCE PROVES THEY MANAGE THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND ITS WILDLIFE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES ARE THE MOST BIODIVERSE PLACES ON EARTH. EIGHTY PERCENT OF OUR PLANET'S BIODIVERSITY IS FOUND THERE. TRIBAL PEOPLES WERE EXPERT CONSERVATIONISTS LONG BEFORE THE WORD "CONSERVATION" WAS DREAMED UP. IT'S OFTEN WRONGLY CLAIMED THAT INDIGENOUS LANDS ARE "WILDERNESSES". THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS LIKE YELLOWSTONE, THE AMAZON AND THE SERENGETI ARE THE ANCESTRAL HOMELANDS OF MILLIONS OF TRIBESPEOPLE WHO HAVE SHAPED THEM, BEEN DEPENDENT ON THEM, AND NURTURED AND PROTECTED THEM, FOR MILLENNIA. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION) TRIBAL VOICE SURVIVAL'S TRIBAL VOICE PROJECT GIVES REMOTE TRIBES COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY SO THEY CAN SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENTS AND MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES AND OTHERS THAT ARE TRYING TO SILENCE THEM. WE HELP GIVE THEM A PLATFORM TO TELL THEIR STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS AND HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD AROUND THE WORLD. SURVIVAL'S TRIBAL VOICE PROJECT INVITES INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AROUND THE WORLD TO RECORD VIDEOS SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT MATTERS TO THEM. SURVIVAL THEN RELEASES THESE VIDEOS GLOBALLY, SUBTITLED IN SEVERAL LANGUAGES. 269780 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X DANIEL LAVELLE 5108583950 P O BOX 26345 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94126 STEPHEN CORRY PRESIDENT 0.25 X X 0 0 0 TESS THACKARA SECRETARY 0.25 X X 0 0 0 GHISLAINE DE GIVE TREASURER 0.25 X X 0 0 0 LOGAN HENNESSEY BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 FANTASIA PAINTER BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 CHRIS BROWN BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 DANIEL LAVELLE US DIRECTOR 40.00 X 74998 0 0 74998 false false false 345382 1617 345382 1006 1006 346388 1006 74999 67499 7500 160701 114397 36563 9741 9796 7543 1861 392 20635 15926 3857 852 2800 2800 912 912 6812 6812 5071 2462 1905 704 27772 26371 1330 71 15022 6760 6760 1502 6938 6938 11992 11992 105 105 2385 2385 695 695 346635 269780 63593 13262 861118 860652 9069 10056 15614 8498 9500 7116 42064 44728 921751 922552 0 0 X 921751 922552 921751 922552 921751 922552 -247 1048 X false false false X 257802 227165 440583 597926 345382 1868858 257802 227165 440583 597926 345382 1868858 159717 1709141 844 855 857 921 1006 4483 1873341 560 0.91230 0.92360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15614 8498 7116 7116 FORM 990, PART III FULL MISSION STATEMENT OUR MISSION IS TO PREVENT THE ANNIHILATION OF INDIGENOUS AND TRIBAL PEOPLES AND TO GIVE THEM A PLATFORM TO SPEAK TO THE WORLD. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION, SURVIVAL: - WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TRIBAL AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, OFFERING THEM A PLATFORM TO ADDRESS THE WORLD; - CARRIES OUT RESEARCH IN INDIGENOUS AREAS, PARTICULARLY WHERE THE SURVIVAL OF TRIBAL PEOPLES IS THREATENED OR WHERE VIOLATIONS OF THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE TAKING PLACE; - USES THIS INFORMATION TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT TRIBAL CULTURES, AND TO PUBLICIZE THE PROBLEMS WHICH TRIBAL PEOPLES FACE; - MAKES REPRESENTATIONS TO GOVERNMENTS, COMPANIES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WHOSE ACTIVITIES MAY AFFECT TRIBAL PEOPLES, AND SEEKS TO INFLUENCE THEM INTO ACTING IN TRIBAL PEOPLES' INTERESTS; - SEEKS TO ELIMINATE ALL DISCRIMINATION AND PREJUDICE AGAINST TRIBAL PEOPLES, AND PROMOTES LEGISLATION WHICH PROTECTS THEIR RIGHTS; - SUPPORTS THE ACTIVITIES OF REPRESENTATIVE INDIGENOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH SIMILAR AIMS; - SUPPORTS APPROPRIATE PROJECTS IN TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. ------------------------------------- PSA 1 "UNCONTACTED TRIBES" CONTINUATION: BUT WHERE THEIR LANDS ARE STOLEN AND INVADED, UNCONTACTED TRIBES ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLES ON THE PLANET. WHOLE POPULATIONS ARE BEING WIPED OUT BY GENOCIDAL VIOLENCE FROM OUTSIDERS, AND BY DISEASES LIKE THE FLU AND MEASLES TO WHICH THEY HAVE NO RESISTANCE. ALL UNCONTACTED TRIBES FACE CATASTROPHE UNLESS THEIR LAND IS PROTECTED. THEY ARE RESISTING INVASION OF THEIR TERRITORIES, AND ALONGSIDE THEIR CONTACTED RELATIVES, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SECURE THEIR LAND FOR THEM. WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY FIGHTING FOR THEIR LANDS TO BE PROTECTED SINCE 1969. OUR CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES ARE SIMPLE: PROTECT THE LANDS OF UNCONTACTED TRIBES AND ENSURE THEIR RIGHT TO REMAIN UNCONTACTED IS RESPECTED IN 2022: SURVIVAL HEAVILY LOBBIED FUNAI (BRAZIL'S NATIONAL INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS AGENCY) TO RENEW THE LAND PROTECTION ORDERS ON THE TERRITORIES OF UNCONTACTED TRIBES STILL AWAITING DEMARCATION. CONTRARY TO GENERAL EXPECTATIONS, THE PRESSURE RESULTED IN THE RENEWAL OF MOST ORDERS, INCLUDING A RENEWAL LASTING THREE YEARS FOR THE ITUNA ITAT LAND PROTECTION ORDER - SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER THAN THE EXPECTED 6 MONTHS. SURVIVAL CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE AMAZON GUARDIANS IN BRAZIL DEFENDING THE LAND OF THEIR UNCONTACTED AW RELATIVES, WITH INTERNATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION - INCLUDING SURROUNDING THE POTENTIALLY HISTORIC JURY TRIAL OF THE KILLERS OF PAULO PAULINO GUAJAJARA - AND WITH DIRECT SUPPORT FOR THEIR LAND PROTECTION WORK. IN PERU, SURVIVAL WORKED WITH INDIGENOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR ALLIES TO CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR THE CREATION OF SEVERAL UNCONTACTED TRIBES' RESERVES, GATHERING AND PRESENTING EVIDENCE OF THEIR PRESENCE AND COMMISSIONING TECHNICAL STUDIES. AFTER YEARS OF DELAY, THERE WAS A BREAKTHROUGH IN 2022 WHEN TWO NEW RESERVES ------------------------------------------------------------------- PSA 2 "DECOLONIZE CONSERVATION" CONTINUATION: TRIBAL PEOPLES ARE BEING ILLEGALLY EVICTED FROM THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMELANDS IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATION AND ACCUSED OF "POACHING" BECAUSE THEY HUNT TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. THEY FACE ARREST AND BEATINGS, TORTURE AND DEATH, AT THE HANDS OF ANTI-POACHING SQUADS FUNDED BY BIG WESTERN CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS, WHILE BIG GAME TROPHY HUNTERS ARE ENCOURAGED. BUT TARGETING TRIBAL HUNTERS DIVERTS ACTION AWAY FROM TACKLING THE TRUE POACHERS - CRIMINALS CONSPIRING WITH CORRUPT OFFICIALS. SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL IS LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ABUSE OF INDIGENOUS AND TRIBAL PEOPLES IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATION: FOR TRIBES, FOR NATURE, FOR ALL HUMANITY. IN 2022, SURVIVAL CONTINUED TO EXPOSE CARBON-OFFSET SCHEMES, BRANDED AS NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) AND NET ZERO, AND THE PLAN TO TURN 30% OF THE PLANET INTO PROTECTED AREAS BY 2030 (KNOWN AS 30X30) AS FALSE SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS THAT WILL RESULT IN MASSIVE THEFT OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' LAND. THESE SUPPOSED SOLUTIONS WOULD MASSIVELY INCREASE FUNDING FOR CONSERVATION, INCLUDING THROUGH SELLING "CARBON CREDITS" FROM PROTECTED AREAS, LEADING TO MORE EVICTIONS AND ABUSES WHILE ALLOWING COMPANIES TO KEEP ON POLLUTING. WITH PARTNERS, SURVIVAL FOUGHT AGAINST THE EVICTION OF 167,000 INDIGENOUS MAASAI PASTORALISTS FROM THEIR ANCESTRAL LANDS IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATION TO MAKE WAY FOR SAFARI TOURISM AND TROPHY HUNTING. SURVIVAL LAUNCHED A UNIQUE "TERMINOLOGY GUIDE" FOR JOURNALISTS AND OTHERS TO DECONSTRUCT WORDS AND PHRASES - LIKE "WILDERNESS", "BUSHMEAT", "VOLUNTARY RELOCATIONS", AND OTHERS - THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO PUSH A FALSE NARRATIVE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND NATURE WHICH IN TURN INFORMS THE PRACTICE OF FORTRESS CONSERVATION. THE GUIDE'S GOAL IS TO CHANGE COMMUNICATION AROUND CONSERVATION BY REDUCING THE USE OF WORDS AND CONCEPTS THAT CONVEY A RACIST AND COLONIAL VIEW OF CONSERVATION, AND THAT CAN BE HARMFUL TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLES.
