(SEE SCHED O) false false 139741 UNCONTACTED TRIBES CAMPAIGN (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O) UNCONTACTED TRIBES ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLES ON THE PLANET. 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. "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 CREATED AND DISSEMINATED A PUBLICITY VIDEO TO INDIGENOUS AND TRIBAL AUDIENCES ENCOURAGING THEM TO SEND US THEIR VIDEO CLIPS AND EXPLAINING THAT THE PROJECT CAN 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 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 IN 2019 WE CAMPAIGNED IN DEFENSE OF: THE AYOREO-TOTOBIEGOSODE PEOPLE IN PARAGUAY'S CHACO, ARE THE ONLY UNCONTACTED TRIBE IN SOUTH AMERICA OUTSIDE THE AMAZON. SURVIVAL PUT PRESSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT TO TITLE THEIR LAND AND PUSH RANCHERS TO RETURN LAND TO ALREADY CONTACTED AYOREO COMMUNITIES. IN 2019, AFTER A 26-YEAR STRUGGLE SUPPORTED BY SURVIVAL, THE AYOREO RECEIVED THE OWNERSHIP PAPERS TO 18,000 HECTARES OF THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND. UNCONTACTED TRIBES OF 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". UNCONTACTED TRIBES OF 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. CONGO BASIN TRIBES IN 2019, SURVIVAL'S FOCUSED ON A WWF-LED PROJECT IN THE CONGO BASIN, MESSOK DJA, A PROPOSED PROTECTED AREA ON THE ANCESTRAL LANDS OF THE BAKA AND BAKWELE PEOPLES. WWF-FUNDED GUARDS HAVE BEEN PATROLLING THE AREA SINCE 2008, PREVENTING ACCESS TO THE FOREST AND BEATING AND TORTURING BAKA AND BAKWELE THAT THEY ACCUSE OF "POACHING." OUR INVESTIGATIONS CONFIRMED THAT WWF HAD NOT OBTAINED FREE, PRIOR AND INFORMED CONSENT FOR THE PARK FROM THE LOCAL INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, MEANING THAT THE ORGANIZATION WAS IN VIOLATION OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND ITS OWN POLICY ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. WE GATHERED WIDE-RANGING TESTIMONY TO PRESENT TO FUNDERS IN EUROPE AND THE U.S. TO PRESSURE THEM INTO WITHDRAWING FUNDING. OUR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTED TO THE DECISION BY SEVERAL U.S. AND EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS AND INSTITUTIONS TO REVIEW FUNDING OF ANTI-POACHING FORCES WHICH HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. IN ADDITION, WWF ALTERED ITS STRATEGY TO ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND BEGAN DISCUSSING A DIFFERENT STATUS FOR THE PROTECTED AREA. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A CHANGE IN CONSERVATION WHICH WILL ENSURE BIG INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS CANNOT USE TERROR TO FORCE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FROM LAND THAT IS RIGHTFULLY THEIRS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE BAKA TELL US THAT THAT SINCE SURVIVAL'S CAMPAIGN THE NUMBER OF ILLEGAL DETENTIONS HAS REDUCED AND VIOLENCE AT THE HANDS OF PARK GUARDS HAS DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY. INDIA IN 2019 SURVIVAL CONTINUED CAMPAIGNING AGAINST FORCED EVICTIONS OF ADIVASI (TRIBAL) PEOPLE FROM TIGER RESERVES IN INDIA. IN FEBRUARY 2019, INDIA'S SUPREME COURT ORDERED THE EVICTION OF ROUGHLY EIGHT MILLION TRIBAL AND OTHER FOREST PEOPLE IN INDIA. IN MAY WE MADE A SUBMISSION TO THE UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON ADEQUATE HOUSING REGARDING THE SUPREME COURT ORDERED EVICTIONS AND OTHER ILLEGAL EVICTIONS FROM TIGER RESERVES IN THE COUNTRY. IN JULY, THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR, ALONG WITH OTHERS, MADE A STRONG STATEMENT AGAINST THE SUPREME COURT EVICTIONS ORDER --------------------- 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. IN 2019, SURVIVAL RELEASED 31 VIDEOS AS PART OF ITS GROUNDBREAKING TRIBAL VOICE PROJECT - ENABLING VITAL MESSAGES TO BE HEARD BY A WIDE AUDIENCE. OVER HALF CAME FROM INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN BRAZIL WHO HAVE USED THE PLATFORM TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST BOLSONARO AND THE IMPACT HIS GOVERNMENT IS HAVING ON THEIR LIVES, AND TO PUSH THE AUTHORITIES TO TAKE ACTION. OTHERS CAME FROM COLOMBIA, CONGO, INDIA, MALAYSIA AND PARAGUAY. FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B THE MANAGEMENT OFFICER REVIEWS THE 990 WITH THE TAX PREPARER.
