💪 Today Brazil is commemorating the National Day of Struggle of Indigenous Peoples. This date commemorates the death of Sepé Tiaraju, an Indigenous Guarani leader, who in 1756 led a resistance movement against the Portuguese and Spanish. Share this post.

Governments are betting big on land-based carbon removal instead of cutting emissions. To make this work, they would need over 1 billion hectares of land. That’s more land than the whole of China 😳 What do you think? Share in the comments. #ConservationOrCorporation

Carbon offsets sound great, but according to an article in New Scientist, this whole notion is now considered one of the most disappointing ideas of the 21st century. At Survival, we’re calling carbon offsetting out. Read the full article by New Scientist here: www.newscientist.com/article/2511...

Hi to everyone who’s followed us recently 👋 It’s great to see the growing interest in defending #Indigenous peoples’ rights - for the past 57 years, we’ve been campaigning with Indigenous peoples around the world to fight for their land rights and ultimately their survival.

Did you know that the resources of uncontacted peoples are being stolen and sold around the globe to make stuff for everyone else? If we don’t stop destroying their lands within 10 years, half of them could be wiped out. The threats cannot be underestimated. Act now: svlint.org/SurvivalB

#OnThisDay in 1863 – the #BearRiverMassacre, possibly the largest massacre in US history. Up to 400 Shoshone men, women and children were killed in present-day Idaho. Never forget the #CrimesofColonialism

The four largest conservation organizations – @worldwildlife.org, @wcs.org @conservationorg.bsky.social, and @nature.org – present themselves as neutral defenders of nature. But their leadership tells a different story. Share this post with anyone who needs to know this. #ConservationorCorporation

🤔 How do we know the names of uncontacted groups? A lot of the time we don’t actually know. Their contacted Indigenous neighbors might give them a name, or a name might be given based on their geographical location.

#OnThisDay in 2010, Boa Sr died. She was the last member of the #Indigenous Bo people – they’d lived in the Andaman Islands for tens of thousands of years. Learn more about today’s uncontacted Indigenous peoples and how they’re fighting to survive: uncontactedpeoples.org #attheedge #Indigenous

Big conservation NGOs claim to fight for nature. 🌱 💥 But boards don’t lie! Big conservation isn’t led by activists. It’s governed by finance, extractive industries, and corporate power. When the same people who profit from environmental destruction sit on conservation boards...

We’re told conservation NGOs protect nature. But many work like an industry. Fortress conservation pushed by big NGOs has meant land grabs, evictions & Indigenous rights violations. Nature protection must go hand-in-hand with defending the peoples who protect it. #ConservationOrCorporation

The Indigenous Baka people have lived in the Congo Basin rainforest for generations. As Indigenous hunter-gatherers, they provide for themselves and live sustainably in their forest. Véronique is no exception - she’s known the rainforest her whole life.

The Indigenous Shompen people live on Great Nicobar Island, which could soon be turned into the ‘Hong Kong of India.’ The vast majority of them are uncontacted, and the destruction to their island could wipe them out.
