Today, we’re asking you to sign and share our Uncontacted Tribes Pledge.Dear Jack,
Today’s the start of Uncontacted Tribes Week, our annual week of action .
Every day this week, we’ll give you the chance to take a quick action to support
uncontacted peoples and – if you want – to dig a little deeper into the issues.
Today, we’re asking you to sign and share our Uncontacted Tribes Pledge – and
share this email with 5 of your friends so they can sign too .

Uncontacted tribes get everything they need to survive from their land . They also lack immunity to diseases common in the industrialized world . It means they’re the most self-sufficient – and the most vulnerable – people in the
world . They don’t need grocery stores or fridges; they don’t need cars and phones;
they don’t pollute or destroy. All they need to thrive is their forests, their
families, and their unique knowledge of their environment.
But their forests, and thus their very survival, are increasingly under attack - from ranchers destroying Ayoreo forest in Paraguay; nickel mines causing
catastrophic damage to the forest of the Hongana Manyawa in Indonesia; loggers
and land speculators devastating Kawahiva land in Brazil; and a massive
“development” project threatening the Shompen on Great Nicobar Island in India. With the destruction of their lands come disease, starvation, and genocide . There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes around the world, and they need our support

Later in the week, we’ll ask you to join us in lobbying some of the worst violators of uncontacted people’s rights , and offer you access to a unique, award-winning movie . If you’d like to organize your own movie night or other event , you can get support and ideas here
[[link removed]] . Don’t forget to share your photos with us and tag @survivalinternational (Instagram) and @Survival (Twitter, Facebook) on
social media !
It’s not a lot to ask: that governments and companies stop attacking the lives and destroying lands
and livelihoods
[[link removed]] of peoples who live sustainably on their own land, as is their right, and who
protect many of the world’s forests, to all our benefit.
And yet the challenge is immense. Survival is fighting alongside the contacted relatives of uncontacted
Indigenous peoples . We hope you’ll join us .
