Around the world, tribal people are the best guardians of the natural world, but their way of life is at risk of being destroyed.

Survival international exist to prevent the annihilation of tribal peoples and to give them a platform to speak to the world so they can bear witness to the genocidal violence, slavery and racism they face on a daily basis. By lobbying the powerful, they help defend the lives, lands and futures of people who deserve the same rights as other contemporary societies. They envisage a world where tribal peoples are respected and treated equally.
