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.

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 INTO TRIBAL 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 - BRAZIL THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONARO ON 1 JANUARY 2019 SPELLED DISASTER FOR BRAZIL'S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND PRESENTED THE GREATEST THREAT TO UNCONTACTED TRIBES IN A GENERATION. AS A RESULT, OPPOSING THE BARRAGE OF ATTACKS ON INDIGENOUS RIGHTS THAT HIS PRESIDENCY UNLEASHED BECAME THE MOST URGENT FOCUS FOR PREVENTING THE GENOCIDE OF UNCONTACTED TRIBES AND WE CONCENTRATED RESOURCES ON A NEW KEY CAMPAIGN "STOP BRAZIL'S GENOCIDE". -COLOMBIA COLOMBIA'S PRESIDENT REPRESENTS A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF COLOMBIA. IN 2019, WE FOCUSED ON THE CASE OF THE NUKAK TRIBE, WITH WHOM WE HAVE WORKED SINCE 1991, AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES OF CONTACT FOR UNCONTACTED TRIBES. THE NUKAK CANNOT RETURN TO THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND DUE TO THE CIVIL WAR AND ON-GOING POST-WAR CONFLICTS. SURVIVAL HAS BEEN LOBBYING THE EU DELEGATION IN COLOMBIA AND THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT THE NUKAK'S RETURN TO THEIR LAND. ----------------- 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. A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE CAMPAIGN CAME IN SEPTEMBER, WHEN THE US GOVERNMENT HALTED MORE THAN 12 MILLION OF FUNDING TO WWF, THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY (WCS) AND OTHER CONSERVATION NGOS DUE TO HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES LINKED TO THEIR WORK. FURTHERMORE, THE US AUTHORITIES DECIDED TO HALT FUTURE FUNDING FOR RELOCATIONS OF TRIBAL PEOPLES FROM THEIR LAND IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATION. OUR SUPPORTER ACTION WAS CRUCIAL TO THIS SUCCESS. THE OFFICIAL MEMO RELATING TO THE DECISION REFERS TO SEVERAL LETTERS AND REPORTS RECEIVED FROM SURVIVAL; IT ADDS THAT THE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED "THOUSANDS OF EMAILS" FROM SURVIVAL SUPPORTERS PRESSING FOR FINANCIAL AID TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM CONSERVATION PROJECTS WHERE ABUSES WERE HAPPENING. A CRITICAL PART OF OUR WORK AROUND CONSERVATION IN INDIA IS AGAINST ILLEGAL TRIBAL EVICTIONS. IN 2020, WE CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED PODCASTS TO INFORM TRIBAL PEOPLE LIVING IN TIGER RESERVES ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS, UNDER INDIAN LAW, TO STAY IN THEIR FORESTS, EVEN IN TIGER RESERVES. WE ALSO SHARED STORIES OF HOPE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT FOR THESE RIGHTS. WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITIES TO GET THEIR FOREST RIGHTS RECOGNIZED, AS THIS IS THEIR BEST DEFENSE AGAINST EVICTIONS, WHILST RECOGNIZING THEIR RIGHT TO PROTECT AND MANAGE THEIR OWN FORESTS --------------------- PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT STATEMENT 3 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. TRIBAL VOICE VIDEOS HAVE BEEN AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR SPREADING THE WORD ON INDIGENOUS ISSUES AND ON SURVIVAL'S CAMPAIGNS. SURVIVAL RELEASED 22 TRIBAL VOICE VIDEOS IN 2020. A NUMBER OF TRIBAL PEOPLE USED THE PLATFORM TO EXPOSE EVICTIONS AND ABUSES IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATION - IN INDIA, NEPAL AND MYANMAR. OTHERS TOLD OF NEW FORMS OF INVASIONS AND OF LEGISLATIVE GENOCIDE IN BRAZIL. IN PARTICULAR, THE VOICES OF INDIGENOUS YOUNG WOMEN STOOD OUT, WITH SEVERAL OF THEIR TRIBAL VOICE VIDEOS GOING VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
