Dear Jack,
Your tireless campaigning for tribal peoples’ rights has resulted in two major victories.
In Germany the government has finally signed up to the key international law on indigenous peoples after a decade-long campaign by Survival supporters.
This isn’t just technical, it’ll make a real difference on the ground – because German aid money has been funding conservation projects by WWF and others that have been responsible for terrible abuses of local people in Africa.
This victory has been followed by a momentous win in Peru: after a long campaign by local organizations and Survival supporters worldwide, a huge new reserve for uncontacted tribes has been created.
The Yavari-Tapiche reserve is inhabited by members of the Matses, Marubo and other tribes. Oil companies have been eyeing up the area for decades – now it’s gained valuable new protection.
The people living there will of course never know the vital role you have played in this victory – so from all of us at Survival, thank you.
