Survival International

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, we work in partnership with tribal and Indigenous peoples to protect their lives and land. 

We investigate, expose and confront atrocities committed by governments and big business.

We  amplify Indigenous voices and make sure they are heard.

A few of our successes:

• We helped the Yanomami people create the largest area of rainforest under indigenous control in the world.
• We were partners in the “David and Goliath” victory of India’s Dongria Kondh tribe against mining giant Vedanta.
• Alongside the Kalahari Bushmen, we won a landmark case to see them rightfully returned to their ancestral land.

Tribal peoples suffer racism, land theft, forced development and genocidal violence just because they live differently. It must stop.
