Dear supporter,

We need your help to prevent another genocide from taking place in Brazil. 

Just a few months ago, a man described as “the loneliest man on the planet” was found dead in the Tanaru Indigenous Territory in the Brazilian Amazon. He was the last living member of his tribe, and his death completed a decades-long effort to completely wipe out his people.

This erasure of an entire people was not accidental — it was brutally deliberate, a calculated decision by cattle ranchers who wanted to steal their land. We can only imagine what horrors he witnessed in his life, and the loneliness of his existence after all his family, friends, everyone he’d known, were killed. 

For over 50 years, Survival has been fighting alongside Indigenous peoples to stop the genocide of uncontacted tribes. It’s an uphill battle. Even with Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro leaving office, his political and corporate cronies remain powerful enough for crimes like this to be repeated over and over again. He once said: “It’s a shame that the Brazilian cavalry hasn’t been as efficient as the Americans, who exterminated the Indians.” 

We're as determined as ever to continue the fight against the violence and cruelty inflicted on Brazil’s Indigenous peoples in the name of power and profit. But we need your help. 

This November, we’re asking you to stand with Indigenous peoples fighting for their land and lives. As part of this Giving Tuesday, every penny you give to support Survival’s campaigns will be matched by a generous donor up to £80,000/ $90,000, doubling the value of your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you,
