A gift in your will to Survival can both help ensure the survival of Indigenous peoples, and humankind as a wholeGillian Anderson, Actor and Survival International Ambassador
A message from Gillian Anderson during Remember a Charity Week:
Dear Jack,
As a Survival supporter, I am constantly astonished at how such a small
organization gets such big results – results that help tribal peoples secure
their rights and their lands, and protect our planet, long into the future.

When I joined Survival’s global campaign to save the Awá in Brazil, some of whom
are uncontacted, the fight seemed impossible. Their forest was being felled at a
faster rate than that of any other uncontacted people, and they were entirely
surrounded by loggers and ranchers. But, after years of campaigning, we won. A
large-scale operation was launched to remove illegal invaders from the Awá’s
territory.
Survival has only been able to achieve this and other victories thanks to their
supporters, and has depended heavily on gifts in wills to sustain their work. A legacy to Survival helps to ensure the survival of Indigenous peoples across
the world, and of humankind as a whole.
Indigenous peoples are the best conservationists of our natural world.
Deforestation rates are much lower on Indigenous peoples’ lands, and their
territories contain 80% of the world’s biodiversity. Recognising Indigenous
lands is not just their right – it is also key to protecting the planet, as
shown by the Awá: if it weren’t for them, the extraordinary, dense forest making
up their territory might have been completely ravaged by logging.

Survival’s work will still be needed for years to come. Even the Awá, despite
their monumental victory, still face huge threats. Their forest is legally
protected, but it is being encroached on once more.
If you are coming to write or update your will, please consider leaving a gift
to Survival International. A gift in your will, large or small, can support
Indigenous and tribal peoples, and help keep our planet and its people safe for
generations.
With thanks,
Gillian Anderson
Survival Ambassador
P.S. If you’ve already chosen to leave Survival a gift in your will, they would
love to hear from you. Please let Survival know if you’ve made the generous decision to leave a legacy.
