Dear Jack,

The year’s almost over, but there’s still time to to contribute to Survival’s campaigns. Will you end 2025 with an act of generosity, and give a gift in support of the world’s Indigenous peoples?

Throughout 2025, Survival’s supporters have shown up again and again for Indigenous peoples’ rights. Your generosity has enabled us to support Nukak people like William, Alex and his mother—whose stories we’ve shared over the last few weeks—as they fight to return to their forest home in the Colombian Amazon. Will you join hundreds of our supporters and donate to our appeal today?

Right now, the Nukak are resisting the exploitation of their forest home. Driven from their ancestral territory in the 1980s following violent invasions by missionaries, colonizers, coca growers and armed groups, more than half the Nukak population died after being exposed to diseases like malaria and flu. The survivors were forced to move away from their territory into desolate resettlement camps. Some Nukak have since returned to their land and are defending their self-sufficient, hunter-gatherer lifestyle. But the threats are huge: landmines; the destruction of their forest; continued criminal activity and more.

Survival is pressuring Colombian authorities to remove settlers and invaders from the Nukak’s territory and return it to them in its entirety. The current Colombian government is more sympathetic to the Nukak’s fight than previous administrations—but the upcoming 2026 election could change this. Jack, it’s a critical moment. Survival needs your support now more than ever. Will you end 2025 on a high by standing with Indigenous peoples?

Thank you,

Caroline Pearce
