** Meet Our 2023 Indigenous Community Media Fund Grant Partners Impacted by Mining for Transition Minerals
------------------------------------------------------------
Cultural Survival’s Indigenous Community Media Fund provides funding opportunities, accompaniment, and training to Indigenous community media platforms to carry out their crucial informational, documentary, and cultural work within and outside their communities. Since 2017, the Indigenous Community Media Fund has awarded 298 grants, supporting community media projects in 29 countries across 3 continents, totaling $1,772,361.
In 2023, thanks to generous donors and supporting foundations, the Indigenous Community Media Fund distributed $420,000 to 60 Indigenous communication projects that will benefit 87 Indigenous Peoples in 20 countries.
Considering the pressure and historical dispossession faced by Indigenous communities by extractive industries, heightened today by the high demand for transition minerals (lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, etc.) in demand for the development and transition to a green, low-carbon economy, this year, the Indigenous Community Media Fund allocated 35 percent of our 2023 funding ($150,000) to support 18 communication projects working to raise awareness about or mitigate the impacts of mining for transition minerals on Indigenous communities. These efforts are being led by collectives and Indigenous community media in Asia, Africa, and America. Two of these projects support community media networks in Bolivia and Argentina.
Indigenous territories contain significant amounts of untapped heavy metal reserves around the world, putting Indigenous lands and communities at risk. Of 5,097 mining projects globally that involve some 30 minerals used in renewable energy technologies, 54 percent are located on or near Indigenous Peoples' lands and territories. About 80 percent of the world’s remaining biodiversity is managed by Indigenous Peoples, but irresponsible mining is threatening it. There is a critical need to support affected and at-risk Indigenous communities to exercise their right to self-determination and Free, Prior and Informed Consent when mining for transition minerals is proposed on their territories.

** Conozca a nuestros socios de subvenciones del Fondo de Medios Comunitarios Indígenas 2023 impactados por la extracción de minerales en transición
------------------------------------------------------------
El Fondo de Medios Comunitarios Indígenas de Cultural Survival brinda oportunidades de financiamiento, acompañamiento y capacitación a plataformas de medios comunitarios Indígenas para llevar a cabo su crucial trabajo informativo, documental y cultural dentro y fuera de sus comunidades. Desde 2017, el Fondo de Medios Comunitarios Indígenas ha otorgado un total de 298 subvenciones, apoyando proyectos de medios comunitarios en 29 países en 3 continentes, por un total de $1,772,361.
En 2023, gracias a generosos donantes y fundaciones, el Fondo de Medios Comunitarios Indígenas distribuyó 420.000 dólares a 60 proyectos de comunicación Indígena que beneficiarán a 87 Pueblos Indígenas en 20 países.
Considerando la presión y el despojo histórico que enfrentan las comunidades Indígenas por parte de las industrias extractivas, agudizados hoy por la alta demanda de minerales de transición (litio, níquel, cobalto, cobre, etc.) necesarios en el desarrollo y la transición hacia una economía verde y baja en carbono, este año, el Fondo de Medios de la Comunidad Indígena asignó el 35 por ciento de nuestros fondos ($150,000) para apoyar 18 proyectos de comunicación que trabajan para crear conciencia sobre o mitigar los impactos de la minería de minerales de transición en las comunidades Indígenas. Estos esfuerzos están siendo liderados por colectivos y medios comunitarios Indígenas en Asia, África y América. Dos de estos proyectos apoyan redes de medios comunitarios en Bolivia y Argentina.
Los territorios Indígenas contienen cantidades significativas de reservas de metales pesados sin explotar en todo el mundo, lo que pone en riesgo las tierras y comunidades Indígenas. De los 5.097 proyectos mineros a nivel mundial que involucran unos 30 minerales utilizados en tecnologías de energía renovable, el 54 por ciento están ubicados en o cerca de tierras y territorios de Pueblos Indígenas. Alrededor del 80 por ciento de la biodiversidad restante del mundo es gestionada por los Pueblos Indígenas, pero la minería irresponsable la amenaza. Existe una necesidad crítica de apoyar a las comunidades Indígenas afectadas y en riesgo para que ejerzan su derecho a la autodeterminación y al consentimiento libre, previo e informado cuando se propone la extracción de minerales de transición en sus territorios.
