Brazil: Wildfires blazing in the Karipuna Indigenous Territory ⚠️🔥 Since August, fires have been threatening the lives of the Karipuna & uncontacted people. As in much of the Amazon, illegal invasions & wildfires go hand in hand. It’s likely that the fires in the territory were started on purpose.

@funaioficial, have you forgotten about the uncontacted Kawahiva people? 🤨 In March, FUNAI (Brazil’s Indigenous Affairs Agency) promised they’d complete the physical demarcation of the Kawahiva do Rio Pardo Indigenous Territory in the Brazilian Amazon by the end of 2025.

#OnThisDay in 1906, Ota Benga was put on display with the monkeys at the Bronx Zoo in NYC. The zoo is owned by the Wildlife Conservation Society @wcs.org. Ota Benga committed suicide ten years later.

❗️ Take action today: svlint.org/PeruActB Tomorrow Sep 4th a Peruvian Commission will vote on whether to make the Yavari-Mirim Indigenous territory an official, protected reserve for uncontacted peoples. National Indigenous organizations ORPIO and Aidesep have been pushing for this for 22 YEARS.

#OnThisDay in 1855 U.S. Army forces attacked a Brulé Lakota village headed by Chief Little Thunder. The attack is known as the "Harney Massacre", or the "Battle of Ash Hollow" or the "Blue Water Massacre". Around 86 Lakota people were killed in the massacre and 70 women and children were captured.

🗣️ Indigenous communities in Brazil are speaking out against carbon credits Indigenous leaders like Alessandra Munduruku stress that Indigenous voices have been sidelined, even though they are nature's true guardians, when it's come to conversations around carbon credits.

“We reject false nature-based solutions” Marisol García Apagüeño is a Kichwa leader from Peru. She's speaking out against the Cordillera Azul National Park, which is forcing a colonial model of conservation which forces Indigenous peoples off their lands.

“Nothing has changed in terms of land protection and the Yine are now reporting to have seen both the Mashco Piro and the loggers exactly in the same space almost at the same time,” said Teresa Mayo, a researcher at Survival. “The clash could be imminent.”

New article in @theguardian.com about the Jenu Kuruba people’s courageous fight to reclaim their land after 40 yrs. It’s the first time in India that an Adivasi community who'd been thrown off their land to make way for a tiger reserve has taken back their lands this way. svlint.org/PeopleVTigers

🚨 In the Peruvian Amazon, a logging company has built a new bridge to expand logging into the uncontacted Mashco Piro territory. This dangerous move by the company puts the Mashco Piro people’s lives at risk, increasing the chances of forced contact, violent clashes & the spread of deadly diseases.

US National Parks were founded on the myth of wilderness – that nature is separate from humanity. This myth continues to justify the violent eviction of #Indigenous peoples around the world in the name of conservation. It’s time to #DecolonizeConservation #NationalParksAnniversary

⚠️ The uncontacted Kawahiva people need protection! But nothing’s been done, while the threats of violence and land theft around the territory get ever closer. Eliane Xunakalo is the President of the Federation of Indigenous Peoples and Organizations of Mato Grosso (@fepoimt_oficial).

The Guajajara Guardians are a group of Indigenous people who defend the Arariboia Indigenous Territory. The Guajajara and uncontacted Awá people live there.

🚨 Lula has only partially vetoed the Devastation Bill. The bill will change the way environmental licensing is conducted in Brazil. It means it’ll be easier for any plans that could affect the environment & surrounding populations, inc the territories & lives of Indigenous peoples, to be approved.

🚨 "This protest is not just a symbolic event, but a powerful struggle to assert our rights" – statement from Nagarahole Adivasi Jamma Paale Hakku Sthaapane Samiti (NAJHSS) On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, up to 400 Adivasi Indigenous people stood at the gates of Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, India.

For #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we’re celebrating the Indigenous youth who are shaping the world of tomorrow 🌳

President Lula must veto the Devastation Bill! Brazil’s Congress is proposing an anti-environment and anti-Indigenous law that'll set back the fight for environmental justice by 40 years. @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social - veto the bill in full! #VetaLula #vetatudo #vetapldadevastação

"Indigenous peoples are the only hope for a better world" - Adriano Karipuna from the Karipuna people in Brazil. Indigenous peoples are the best guardians of their territories. Indigenous lands must be in Indigenous hands. Stay updated with the fight for Indigenous rights: svlint.org/KeepUpdatedB

“This is our rainforest, so we won’t let anyone take it from us.” – Bokumu, contacted Hongana Manyawa man. Missionaries, disease and racism. The history of the Indigenous Hongana Manyawa people in Indonesia over the past few decades has been a struggle for survival and self-determination.

The Supreme Court of Peru canceled the sanctions that prevented the Peruvian Indigenous organization FENAMAD speaking out in defense of the lives of the uncontacted Mashco Piro people. The court also recognized that FENAMAD’s rights were violated by those sanctions.

Brazilian NGO CIMI released their yearly report looking into violence against Indigenous people. They discovered that there were more cases of violence against Indigenous people in 2024 than the year before. ➡️ Read the full report: bit.ly/CIMIrel2024

Highly recommend Nayanika Mathur’s book, Crooked Cats, to understand the complexities of how tigers and people live together #GlobalTigerDay

It’s #GlobalTigerDay. But we can't celebrate unless the rights of the tigers' true guardians are respected. Indigenous peoples in India are being evicted from their lands to make way for tiger reserves. But tigers and people can live together, just as they’ve been doing for generations.

🚨 The Karipuna Indigenous Territory in Brazil is not only home to the Karipuna people but also an unknown number of uncontacted people. It’s being invaded by landgrabbers and loggers left, right and centre.

Who’s actually protecting who when it comes to nature conservation? A new ARTE documentary shows how supposed “nature conservation” in Africa is almost always just profit-making business. It massively benefits the tourism & conservation industries, and is often used as an excuse for trophy hunting.

40 years ago, Jenu Kuruba people were evicted from their forest home in the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve in India.
They were pushed out in the name of "conservation"—even though they were the true guardians of the forest. But the Jenu Kuruba didn’t give up. Stand with them: svlint.org/TigerReservesB

🙋🏻‍♀️ Survival is joining Wider Horizons this July! Our workshop will focus on raising awareness and support for the guardians of the Amazon and we'll be making the movement for Indigenous rights even stronger. ✊ There's still time to grab a ticket: www.tickettailor.com/events/wider...

So inspiring to see that we’re truly a global movement, standing together with the Jenu Kuruba ✊ Reports from several countries show that evicting Indigenous peoples from their lands in the name of conservation isn’t going to wash any more. 🙅 Stand with the Jenu Kuruba: svlint.org/TigerReservesB

🗣️ “How will there be a conflict when we know how to coexist with animals? We worship them.” The Jenu Kuruba people are the original guardians of the Nagarhole forest in India. They were forced out of their homes to make way for a tiger reserve. Stand for their land rights: svlint.org/TigerReservesB

The Jenu Kuruba people are Indigenous to South West India. Over 40 years ago, Jenu Kuruba from Karadikallu village were forcefully evicted from their lands to make way for Nagarhole Tiger Reserve and National Park. That system of nature protection is colonial conservation.

URGENT! 🚨 “Devastation Bill” is threatening Brazil’s Indigenous peoples - and the whole world! The Chamber of Deputies in Brazil has approved the “Devastation Bill”, which would make it easier for projects which harm the environment and people to be approved.

The Forest Department & other authorities in India have no right to re-evict the Jenu Kuruba people! Their land rights are enshrined in Indian & international law. What’s more, it’s obvious that the Jenu Kuruba and the animals can share a home. Take action now: svlint.org/TigerReserve...

Choudamma from the Jenu Kuruba people couldn’t be clearer: living in an eviction camp is hell. Her people were kicked out of their villages to make way for the Nagarhole National Park and Tiger Reserve, because the park officials refused to accept that humans could live alongside “wildlife”.
