SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL
| Survival is the only worldwide organisation supporting tribal peoples through public campaigns. It was founded in 1969 after an article by Norman Lewis in the UK's Sunday Times highlighted the massacres, land thefts and genocide taking place in Brazilian Amazonia. Like many modern atrocities, the racist oppression of Brazil's Indians took place in the name of 'economic growth'. Today, Survival has supporters in 82 countries. They also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. Working closely with local indigenous organisations, and focusing on tribal peoples who have the most to lose, usually those most recently in contact with the outside world. |
