The uncontacted Kawahiva need your support

Dear Jack,

In one of the last areas of Amazon rainforest in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, the uncontacted Kawahiva people are struggling to survive.

In recent decades, their forest has been invaded by loggers and ranchers. Many of them have died from diseases that these outsiders have introduced; countless others have been killed in massacres.

Will you stand with the Kawahiva?

The survivors of these atrocities are the last of the Kawahiva, and their genocide will be complete unless their land is protected.

For decades, Survival has been pressuring the Brazilian government to demarcate - map out - and protect the Kawahiva's land. In 2016, after a major campaign by Survival supporters like you, Brazil’s Ministry of Justice completed an initial stage of the demarcation and, in 2018, illegal loggers and ranchers were removed from the territory following a court ruling.

Will you take action today?

Since then, however, the demarcation process has stalled in the face of intense lobbying against it from anti-Indigenous agribusiness interests and politicians.

Working together with Indigenous organizations and other allies, we’ve produced the video below to help increase the pressure once more, both in Brazil and around the world. Please watch it, and share this email with your friends and family. Please also share it as much as you can on your social media, using the hashtag #DemarcaKawahiva, and in any other way possible.

Take action now

We can win this fight for the Kawahiva’s survival, if enough of us join together.
