WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THEM. BUT WE DO KNOW THERE ARE MORE THAN A HUNDRED AROUND THE WORLD. AND WE KNOW WHOLE POPULATIONS ARE BEING WIPED OUT BY VIOLENCE FROM OUTSIDERS WHO STEAL THEIR LAND AND RESOURCES, AND BY DISEASES LIKE FLU AND MEASLES TO WHICH THEY HAVE NO RESISTANCE. SURVIVAL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CAMPAIGNING FOR THEIR LANDS TO BE PROTECTED SINCE 1969. OUR CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES ARE SIMPLE: PROTECT THEIR LANDS AND ENSURE THEIR RIGHT TO REMAIN UNCONTACTED IS RESPECTED. ONLY THEN WILL THEY, AND THE ENVIRONMENTS ON WHICH THEY DEPEND, CONTINUE TO THRIVE. "DECOLONIZE CONSERVATION" TRIBAL PEOPLES HAVE BEEN DEPENDENT ON AND MANAGED THEIR ENVIRONMENTS FOR MILLENNIA AND EVIDENCE PROVE THAT THEY ARE BETTER AT LOOKING AFTER THEIR ENVIRONMENT THAN ANYONE ELSE. BUT 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. TRIBAL PEOPLES ARE THE BEST CONSERVATIONISTS AND GUARDIANS OF THE NATURAL WORLD AND AS SUCH WE ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THEY ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT. (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.

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. ------------------------------------- PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT STATEMENT 1 UNCONTACTED TRIBES CAMPAIGN (CONTINUATION) OUR CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES ARE SIMPLE: PROTECT THE LANDS OF UNCONTACTED TRIBES AND ENSURE THEIR RIGHT TO REMAIN UNCONTACTED IS RESPECTED IN 2021, SURVIVAL SPOTLIGHTED LAND PROTECTION ORDERS (LPOS): LITTLE-KNOWN BUT VITAL PROTECTIONS FOR UNCONTACTED TRIBES IN BRAZIL WHOSE LANDS HAVE NOT YET BEEN OFFICIALLY DEMARCATED. ALONGSIDE A SERIES OF CAMPAIGN AND LOBBYING ACTIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE MOBILIZED THOUSANDS AROUND THE WORLD TO DEMAND THAT IMPORTANT LPOS THAT WERE ABOUT TO EXPIRE BE RENEWED; MORE THAN 17,000 URGENT ACTION EMAILS WERE SENT ACROSS SIX LANGUAGES. WITH OUR ALLIES IN BRAZIL WE SCORED TWO PIVOTAL VICTORIES, AS THE LPOS FOR THE PIRIPKURA AND PIRITITI TERRITORIES WERE RENEWED. HAD THEY NOT BEEN, THE PEOPLES CONCERNED COULD WELL HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT. ----------------- PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT STATEMENT 2 "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. SURVIVAL'S CONSERVATION CAMPAIGN IS CHALLENGING THE WHOLE NARRATIVE OF THE CONSERVATION INDUSTRY, CHANGING MINDS, INFLUENCING POLICY, DENOUNCING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, AND PUTTING THE BIG CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS UNDER PRESSURE TO CHANGE AS NEVER BEFORE. IN 2021, SURVIVAL EXPOSED CARBON-OFFSET SCHEMES, BRANDED AS NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) AND NET ZERO, 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. IN 2021, SURVIVAL DREW PUBLIC AND POLITICAL ATTENTION TO THIS DANGEROUS DECEPTION, INCLUDING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH. --------------------- PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT STATEMENT 3 ADIVASIS AGAINST COAL IN 2021 SURVIVAL LAUNCHED A MAJOR NEW CAMPAIGN, "ADIVASIS AGAINST COAL," TO EXPOSE AND OPPOSE PLANS FOR A MASSIVE EXPANSION OF COAL MINING ON INDIGENOUS LANDS IN INDIA'S CENTRAL BELT. ADIVASI (INDIGENOUS) PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BRAVELY RESISTING THIS ONSLAUGHT, IN THE FACE OF HARASSMENT, ARRESTS, EVICTIONS AND WORSE. THE UNIQUE HASDEO FOREST, HOME TO 20,000 ADIVASIS, IS A KEY TARGET FOR THE COAL MINERS. THE CAMPAIGN HAS GARNERED PRESS INTEREST AROUND THE WORLD AND SURVIVAL HAS HELPED FOSTER NEW CONNECTIONS BETWEEN INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS FIGHTING TO PROTECT THEIR LANDS. WE'VE ALSO BEEN AMPLIFYING ADIVASI VOICES THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF SEVERAL NEW TRIBAL VOICE VIDEOS, AND CAMPAIGNED FOR THE RELEASE OF ADIVASI ACTIVISTS IMPRISONED SIMPLY FOR DEFENDING THEIR PEOPLE'S LANDS. TRIBAL VOICE (CONTINUATION) 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. SURVIVAL RELEASED 32 TRIBAL VOICE VIDEOS IN 2021. IN A TIME OF LOCKDOWNS AND TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, TRIBAL VOICE VIDEOS HAVE BEEN AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR SPREADING THE WORD ON INDIGENOUS ISSUES AND ENGAGING PEOPLE IN THEIR AND SURVIVAL'S CAMPAIGNS.
