OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIESOBJECTS AND PURPOSES
Survival International is the global movement for Indigenous and tribal peoples’
rights. We help tribal peoples defend their lives, protect their lands and determine
their own futures. Our principal objects and purposes are:• to promote good race relations for the public benefit between Indigenous andnon-Indigenous peoples by endeavouring to eliminate discrimination on the
grounds of race, nationality, or ethnic, or national origins.
• to relieve poverty, malnutrition and ill health among Indigenous peoples.
• to promote for the public benefit the human rights of Indigenous peoples (as set
out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent United
Nations conventions and declarations including ILO Conventions 107 and 169).
• to promote education and research into the history, institutions, and ways of lifeof Indigenous peoples and to publish and disseminate the results of that
research.
• to promote and support such other charitable purposes for public benefit
pertaining to Indigenous peoples as the directors shall think fit.
ACTIVITIESIn order to achieve these objectives, Survival:• works in partnership with Indigenous and tribal peoples, offering them aplatform to address the world;• carries out research into tribal areas, particularly where the survival of tribal
peoples is threatened or where violations of their human rights are taking place;• uses this information to educate the public about tribal cultures, and to
publicize the problems which tribal peoples face;• makes representations to governments, companies and other institutions andindividuals whose activities may affect tribal peoples, and seeks to influencethem into acting in tribal peoples’ interests;• seeks to eliminate all discrimination and prejudice against tribal peoples, andpromotes legislation which protects their rights;• supports the activities of representative Indigenous organizations and otherorganizations with similar aims;• supports appropriate projects in tribal communities.

PUBLIC BENEFITThe Trustees of Survival International confirm that they have complied with the duty
in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission
guidelines on public benefit and the need to provide an explanation of theachievements during the year under review.
All our activities focused on defending the lives and protecting the lands of
Indigenous and tribal peoples benefit both specific peoples and the public ingeneral. Tribal peoples number more than 150 million individuals worldwide andadd hugely to the diversity of humankind. We also believe that campaigning to put
tribal peoples – the best guardians of the natural world – at the forefront of theenvironmental movement benefits all humanity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
GENERAL
2022 was a highly successful year for Survival, with several major campaign
successes, including for uncontacted tribes in Brazil, and for tribal peoples
worldwide. See “Key Campaigns” for more information. Survival International is also
growing in terms of personnel, with new staff being hired in the London
Headquarters as well as at its other offices.
KEY CAMPAIGNS
Uncontacted Tribes
Uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. They are people
who avoid all contact with outsiders. They are not backward and primitive relics of aremote past – they are our contemporaries and a vitally important part ofhumankind’s diversity. Where their rights are respected, they continue to thrive.
Uncontacted tribes of Brazil
Survival’s main focus for uncontacted tribes in Brazil was lobbying FUNAI (Brazil’s
National Indigenous Affairs agency) to renew the Land Protection Orders on the
territories of uncontacted tribes still awaiting demarcation. Contrary to general
expectations, the pressure resulted in the renewal of most Orders, including arenewal lasting three years for the Ituna Itatá Land Protection Order – significantly
longer than the expected 6 months, and a big success given the fierce opposition
by powerful politicians in Brazil. However, one Land Protection Order (Jacareuba
Katawixi) was not renewed, and another territory (Mamoriá Grande) requiring a Land
Protection Order remains completely unprotected. Meanwhile, deforestation
continues to soar in some of these territories and those of other uncontacted tribes,
and the fires season is now under way, with record levels of burning in some areas.
The tragic death of the last survivor of a tribe in the Tanaru Indigenous territory –known as the “Man of the Hole” – made international headlines. Dozens ofjournalists approached Survival, and we were quoted in hundreds of media outlets.
Our messaging aimed to emphasize the fact that he was a symbol of both thegenocide and the resistance of uncontacted tribes, and to encourage more people
to join the fight so that other peoples don’t suffer the same fate.
Survival continued to support the Amazon Guardians defending the land of theiruncontacted Awá relatives, with international media attention – including
surrounding the potentially historic jury trial of the killers of Paulo Paulino Guajajara– and with direct support for their land protection work.
Uncontacted tribes of Peru
In Peru, the start of 2022 was marked by severe government instability, with several
presidential impeachment attempts and changes in ministers, and new
management teams in the main Indigenous organisations Survival works with. This
made lobbying difficult, so Survival focused on coordinating and strategizing with
the new teams, supporting them in their regional campaigns, and building
relationships by working in person with key team members from Peruvian
organizations. Survival joined and amplified Indigenous organization ORPIO's
complaints of logging concessions overlapping with uncontacted tribes’ reserves,and supported their efforts to bring together communities, Indigenous organizations
and the public sector for the protection of the Yavari-Tapiche Corridor in the
Amazon Uncontacted Frontier.
Indigenous organizations and their allies have, for decades, been pushing for thecreation of several uncontacted tribes’ reserves, gathering and presenting evidenceof their presence and commissioning technical studies. After years of delay, there
was a breakthrough in 2022 when two new reserves were finally created: the YavaríTapiche and Kakataibo reserves.
However, the oil and gas lobby reacted quickly and forcefully. In April 2022, theregional government of Loreto, with support from the Department of Development
in Loreto and various players in the oil and gas sector, released a statement
demanding the abolition of the “PIACI Law” – the Peruvian law for the protection of
uncontacted tribes. This law, although not perfect, is vital for the survival of
uncontacted tribes in Peru, as it provides for the creation and protection ofIndigenous reserves for uncontacted peoples. The law also has other very important
provisions regarding uncontacted tribes’ rights to health, self-determination andcollective land rights.
This was just the beginning of a dangerous public campaign against the creation ofIndigenous reserves for uncontacted tribes, which chases similar objectives tothose of the Anglo-French oil company Perenco, against whom we have been
campaigning.
Survival has campaigned against Perenco in this region of Peru in the past. In June
2022, Perenco filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Culture demanding that thecreation of the Napo-Tigre Indigenous Reserve be overturned. Like the regional
government, it alleges that uncontacted people do not exist in the Napo-Tigre
region. In July 2022, following a long campaign led by Indigenous organizations andsupported by Survival and other allies, the official Commission in charge of creatingthe reserves finally and unequivocally recognized the existence of uncontacted
peoples in the Napo-Tigre area. This vital step towards their protection took almost
20 years.
Perenco’s lawsuit and the regional government’s campaign against the PIACI law
are both aimed at undermining the process of creating the reserve before it iscompleted. They would once again endanger hard-won rights and the survival of
the uncontacted tribes, the most vulnerable peoples on the planet.
In August 2022, Survival wrote to Perenco’s offices in Paris and London and put out
a press release about the issue to draw attention to it. The company did not
respond. Survival has continued to lobby the Peruvian government to progress withthe regular studies and procedures needed to create the reserves.
Uncontacted tribes of Paraguay
Survival continued to work with the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people to protect theiruncontacted relatives, the only uncontacted tribe in South America living outside
the Amazon rainforest. The focus was on submitting a land claim case to the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), and also a complaint under theOECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises about the import of leather fromcattle reared on illegally deforested land belonging to the uncontacted Ayoreo.
Survival submitted a report to the IACHR detailing the condition of the Ayoreo’s
land and providing evidence of human rights abuses following Survival’s visit. If theCommission rules against the land claim, the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode will no longer
benefit from the injunctions currently in effect. This would have a devastating
impact on their fight to reclaim their land for their families and uncontacted relatives.
Survival maintained pressure on the Commission and drew up plans to increase
public lobbying of the Paraguayan government into 2023, given that it is thegovernment who will be required to implement the Commission’s ruling. (Thegovernment is ultimately the only body with the power to ensure that the AyoreoTotobiegosode can live on their lands with no outside interference.)
Survival’s advocacy department and Survival Italy collaborated on presenting acomplaint to the Italian OECD National Contact Point on 13 December 2022 about
the Italian firm Pasubio for importing leather from from tanneries in Paraguay which
are linked to the illegal deforestation of land belonging to the uncontacted Ayoreo.
This step was publicized via a press release and social media channels. We are also
holding discussions with Gruppo Mastrotto on the same issue, who have been open
to negotiation.

“Stop Brazil’s Genocide”
In 2022 Survival continued to push our Stop Brazil’s Genocide campaign vigorously,
exposing and lobbying against the widespread theft of Indigenous land and themany genocidal proposals being pushed by the Bolsonaro government. With
elections happening toward the end of the year, 2022 was a particularly tense andviolent time in Brazil.
Alongside the pre-election political uncertainty and upheaval, there was aconsiderable increase in the number of attacks against Indigenous people. Survival
worked hard to bring several cases to international attention, and lobbied theauthorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. These cases include the murder of
Amazon Guardian Janildo Guajajara, and that of Vitor Fernandes Guarani during the
Guapo’y Massacre – a police attack on a Guarani community following areoccupation of part of their ancestral land.
Additionally, the killings in the Amazon of Bruno Pereira, an expert in uncontacted
tribes, and British journalist Dom Phillips – both friends of Survival – carried theclear message that invaders would be ruthless in their violence against those
supporting the Indigenous movement.
Soon after Bruno and Dom went missing, Survival lobbied both the UK and Brazilian
governments to conduct proper searches; called out false information being spreadby politicians from both countries; and did many interviews in the international
media. In the UK, Survival staff members have since represented the organization ata public talk in memory of Bruno and Dom, and have been called on by friends andrelatives of Dom to collaborate on events they are organizing to boost support foruncontacted tribes.
Other aspects of the Stop Brazil’s Genocide campaign in 2022 included the “Time
Limit Trick” and a pro-mining bill, both of which would be disastrous foruncontacted tribes and Indigenous peoples more widely. Survival continued togenerate widespread international media attention for these threats and all others
highlighted here. There was particularly good coverage in the Brazilian media –crucial for building pressure on government targets and boosting public support forour campaigns.
Survival worked with the Yanomami and other organizations in Brazil to keep publicattention on the fact that over 20,000 illegal gold miners – backed by organizedcriminal gangs – are still operating on the Brazil side of the Yanomami territory, andalso to maintain pressure on the government to evict them.
In May, Survival hosted Mauricio Yanomami in Madrid, Paris, Berlin and London,and in September, Olimpio Guajajara – an Amazon Guardian – visited Survival in
London, Berlin and Paris. Both visits had the objectives of raising public support for
the Yanomami and Guajajara/Awá peoples, as well as highlighting the Uncontacted
Tribes campaign and Survival’s work with them. It was also used as an extremely
valuable opportunity to gain political support from key figures outside Brazil, and toraise funds.

When the President of FUNAI, Marcelo Xavier, a notoriously anti-Indigenous former
police officer, visited Madrid to participate in a conference on Indigenous peoples,
Survival made the most of the opportunity: Survival staff and supporters
participated in a protest against his appearance.
Together with other organizations, Survival made two submissions to the UN
Universal Periodic Review on Brazil that took place in November. One submission
was on "The uncontacted Indigenous Peoples in Brazil"; the other was entitled“Violations perpetrated against the Kayapo, Yanomami and Munduruku Peoples.”Finally, in April, an investigation revealed that Brazilian military agents set up a fakesocial media account to attack Survival and other organizations working for
Indigenous rights. This was in many ways a concrete indication that the work
Survival was doing was getting attention and making an impact.
Decolonize Conservation
We need real solutions to address climate change and biodiversity breakdown.
However, many false solutions and colonial approaches to conservation that destroy
Indigenous and tribal peoples, especially in Africa and Asia, are being put forward tocover up the real cause of climate change – overconsumption, driven by the Global
North. Indigenous and other local people in the Global South who play little or nopart in the environment’s destruction will be the most affected by climate change –and kicking them off their land to create Protected Areas or similar won’t help:
Indigenous peoples are the best guardians of the natural world and an essential partof the human diversity that is a key to protecting biodiversity. Survival is working
alongside Indigenous and tribal peoples to stop human rights abuses beingcommitted against them in the name of conservation.
30x30 and COP15
Throughout 2022, Survival continued to campaign against the plan to turn 30% of
the planet into Protected Areas by 2030 (known as 30x30). The first in-person
negotiations on the Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework took place in Geneva
in March 2022. Before the meeting, thousands of Survival supporters sent emails to
key targets to tell them not to support the 30x30 plan.
Survival worked hard to simplify the messaging around this complex issue, such as
designing FAQs and answers for use on social media, and creating accessible‘explainer’ videos.
At COP15 in Montreal in December 2022, Survival met with several country
negotiators (such as Argentina and Spain) and put out a statement with Amnesty
International, Rainforest Foundation UK and Minority Rights Group explaining why
the 30% target is so dangerous. During the negotiations, Survival put in place asocial media plan using powerful cards to explain what was going in Montreal andthe problems of the 30% target, and had an opinion piece published in African
Arguments to expose the realities of the 30x30 plan.

A week into the negotiations, Survival also launched a press release titled What theysaid: Survival’s rogues’ gallery of Top 5 worst statements from COP15, one week in.
We put out a further press release with our final statement on the negotiations
around 30x30 as a whole. Survival’s criticism of the 30% target was included inseveral news outlets, including Swedish public TV, French national newspaper
Libération, the print version of Italy’s most-read newspaper La Repubblica, and the
Associated Press.
Survival will continue to monitor the implementation of the Framework, with a new
focus on “Blood Carbon” – exposing carbon offsets scams on Indigenous lands
previously stolen in the name of conservation.
Tanzania: Maasai evictions
167,000 Indigenous Maasai pastoralists are set to be evicted from their ancestral
lands in the name of conservation to make way for safari tourism and trophy
hunting. They are also facing restrictions on where they can graze their livestock,
access water, and practice subsistence cultivation – unsurprisingly, theserestrictions are leading to starvation. This is happening at the hands of the
Tanzanian government – in some cases supported by international organizations
like UNESCO and IUCN – in Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Loliondo.
On June 8 2022, dozens of police vehicles and an estimated 700 officers arrived in
Loliondo, North Tanzania, near the Serengeti National Park, to demarcate a1,500km2 area of Maasai land as a Game Reserve. On June 10, police fired on
Maasai people protesting against efforts to evict them: at least 18 men and 13
women were shot. Survival was one of the first organizations to bring international
attention to these abuses, simultaneously highlighting the wider picture of fortressconservation; helping the Maasai to raise this issue in international forums; andgiving in-depth information to journalists and also the general public through social
media activity. Survival helped secure coverage all over the world, including theBBC, El País (Spain) and La Repubblica (Italy). One of the videos that the Maasai
asked Survival to share went viral.
In terms of lobbying and advocacy, Survival and the US-based Oakland Institutewrote a joint letter to UNESCO and the IUCN asking for Ngorongoro to be delisted
as a World Heritage Site. Survival and a Maasai leader also met with the EUdelegation in Tanzania. As a result of the lobbying work, seven MEPs submitted awritten question to the Commission raising the evictions issue and asking what theEuropean Commission is doing to help stop the abuses against the Maasai.
Meetings between Survival, a Maasai lawyer, the European Commission and the
Tanzanian ambassador in Brussels helped put pressure on the Tanzanian
government, and emphasised that their plans to evict the Maasai from theirancestral lands are subject to international scrutiny.
US law on funding conservation
Following Survival’s lobbying of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding
their funding of conservation projects which fuel abuses against tribal peoples, theUS House of Representatives passed the Advancing Human Rights-Centered

International Conservation Act of 2022 by an overwhelming majority: a landmark billto stop US government funds from financing human rights abuses in the name ofconservation.
The bill, though not perfect, is nevertheless a major success for the campaign todecolonize conservation: it establishes a vital precedent that will be difficult forconservation organizations and their funders to ignore.
The new bill establishes two ground-breaking principles:• It seeks to ensure that the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s funding ofconservation projects can no longer be used to finance gross human rights
abuses.
• In order to receive US government funding, conservation projects must have thefree, prior and informed consent of Indigenous people for new or expanded
National Parks or other Protected Areas on their lands.
This law is a direct result of Survival’s lobbying and advocacy work. However, it still
has to pass in the Senate before it becomes law.
The Guide to decolonize the language used in conservation
Survival successfully launched a unique "terminology guide” to deconstruct words
and phrases – like “wilderness”, “bushmeat”, “voluntary relocations”, and others –that have been used to push a false narrative of the relationship between humans
and nature which in turn informs the practice of fortress conservation. The goal of
the guide was to explain to people working in communications aroundconservation, particularly journalists, why some words and concepts can convey a
racist and colonial view of conservation, and be harmful to Indigenous peoples. The
guide was made available as a PDF and uploaded to the Survival website. Social
media and press work, as well as outreach to new audiences, including filmmakers
and artists, contributed to the wide reach of the guide. The guide received an
enthusiastic response and was featured in The Guardian and other high-profile
outlets.
Tiger Reserves
Survival continues to support the Jenu Kuruba tribe in their resistance against
eviction from Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, and the desire of those who have been
evicted to be allowed to return. A Survival consultant and Indigenous contacts
visited Nagarhole during 2022. As a result of this visit, in consultation with the Jenu
Kuruba leaders, a unique meeting was planned to bring together representatives ofmany tribal communities affected by conservation in India. It is scheduled to be heldin Nagarhole in Spring 2023, and will in turn launch an alliance of conservationaffected peoples.
Two Jenu Kuruba men, Kariyappa and Basava, died following attacks by forest
guards in the latter months of 2022. In October 2022, Kariyappa died after being
beaten and tortured by guards while being questioned about hunting deer. Before
he was detained, guards threatened to burn his house down if his family didn’t tellthem where he was. In December 2022, Basava, who had been shot by forest

guards the year before, died of his injuries. Survival had recorded a Tribal Voice
video of him after he was shot, where he explained that he was attacked because
he had defended his sister after she was harassed by the guards.
Meanwhile, in December 2022, seven Jenu Kuruba held a protest at an event in
Bangalore which was being supported by WWF. They had signs written in English
and the local language saying, “WCS, WWF and Lift, stop forcefully evicting
Adivasis/Tribal people in the name of colonial conservation” and “Jenu Kuruba
people fighting against colonial conservation and WCS in solidarity with people ofKaziranga fighting against WWF’s conservation model.” WWF had a stall at theevent, but after the Jenu Kuruba arrived the staff packed up the stall and left. JK
Thimma, a Jenu Kuruba shaman and leader, compared the moment to when a tiger
arrives in the jungle and all the rabbits run away!
Kahuzi Biega
In December, Survival met with the Advisor to the Minister for Africa andDevelopment Issues in France’s Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. This cameabout after many requests to discuss the French development agency (AFD)’sfinancial support of Kahuzi Biega National Park in the DRC. The pressure built by
Survival and its supporters had already led the Ministry to suspend the project last
July, so the meeting was a key opportunity to keep up the pressure. It was evident
that the Ministry had no sense of what is happening on the ground, nor about what
the AFD is actually funding.
Following an announcement in December 2022 that the UN in the DRC will also
start funding Kahuzi Biega park, Survival wrote a letter to the country director
highlighting the gross human rights abuses happening there, although the concerns
were not heeded. Survival will continue monitoring what is happening in the park,
working closely with Minority Rights Group and others.
Adivasis Against Coal
Survival International stands with Adivasis in India who are fighting against mining
corporations and others trying to steal their lands. It’s not just their lands, homes
and livelihoods that could be destroyed: the sacred spaces that form the heart oftheir belief systems would also be obliterated. Adivasi religions are based on theworship of nature, but they’re denigrated and ridiculed by much of the urban elite.
The loss of these forests would mean an existential crisis for the Adivasi tribes.
In 2022, final permissions were granted by the state government in Chhattisgarh,
India, for further coal mining in the sacred Hasdeo Forest, home to 18,000 Adivasi
people. This would entail the expansion of the existing PEKB mine, and the openingof the new Parsa mine. A few weeks later, however, the Congress Party-run state
government of Chhattisgarh announced that all three of the upcoming mines in
Hasdeo were to be put on “indefinite hold”.
This was a positive development, although concerns do remain. The statement has
no legal backing, so the community remains in constant fear that this ‘hold’ could
be released at any time and their land destroyed. Survival supported the demand of

the Adivasis in Hasdeo that the Chhattisgarh government must permanently cancel
the clearance for these mines and pledge that no mining will be allowed without theFree, Prior and Informed Consent of the Indigenous land owners.
The community remain determined, united and proactive in the fight against thedestruction of their land. For example, Adivasi women stood guard to physicallyprotect trees scheduled to be felled for mining works, and the community have astrict rota to keep a permanent vigil over them.
To stand with them, Survival organised an international day of protest against
mining in the Hasdeo forest. Protests were held in Mexico, Brazil, US, UK,
Germany, Italy, Canada and Australia. Two Adivasi activists joined the protest in
London. The protests got good press coverage in India, including in the Times ofIndia, and some of the images were shown on Indian TV. The protest was also
covered in a number of Spanish-language papers. Images and videos of theprotests were widely shared on social media in India, helping to build momentum insupport of the cause.
In July, Survival released a short film highlighting Indigenous resistance to coalmining in Hasdeo, with a voiceover by musician Anoushka Shankar. Contacts on
the ground were very pleased with it, and if the “indefinite hold” on the mines does
come to be lifted, it will be a very valuable tool in the campaign against the mines.
The film was also shown at the Tate Modern in London.
Bushmen of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana
Since the 1980s, Survival has been working with the Bushmen of the Central
Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) to secure their land rights and ensure they are
respected. Although in 2006 the Bushmen won the right in court to go back to theirlands, the government has done everything it can to make this impossible.
In 2022, Survival decided to put more focus on the situation of the Bushmen, as
government persecution of them appeared to be intensifying. One of Survival’s
long-standing Bushman contacts informed Survival researchers that his uncle,
Pitseng Gaoberekwe, one of the applicants in the 2006 High Court Case, died in
December 2022 in a hospital in the capital after a long illness. He was from
Metsiamenong, one of the communities inside the CKGR, where he had always
lived. The authorities persuaded him to move to the resettlement camp of New
Xade in 2014, when he was diagnosed with cancer, to be close to the hospital.
Following his death, Pitseng’s family appealed to the authorities for permission totake his body back to the CKGR for burial, but Ghanzi District Council denied theirrequest. The Bushmen appealed against this ruling, but this was also unsuccessful.
At the end of August, police detained around 20 children aged 5-17 years old, whowere travelling from the reserve to Ghanzi, the nearest town, on a school bus. The
police claimed to have discovered game meat on board. The children werereportedly detained all day without being given food and water, nor were theirparents informed.

At the request of Bushman contacts, Survival publicized Pitseng’s case, and thedetention of the children. It seems likely that the government is harassing the CKGR
Bushmen in an attempt to force them out of the reserve.
TRIBAL VOICE
Survival’s Tribal Voice project invites Indigenous people around the world to record
videos on the issues that matter to them. Survival then releases these videos
globally, subtitled in several languages.
Survival released 20 Tribal Voice videos in 2022, on a range of tribal issues aroundthe world. Via Tribal Voice, several Awá and Guajajara people exposed the logging
and violence in the Arariboia territory in Brazil, which threatens the uncontacted
tribes living there and the Amazon Guardians working to protect them. Others toldof their resistance against mining – both in India and Brazil.
A notable highlight for the Tribal Voice project in 2022 was when Cecilia Vicuña, theworld-renowned Chilean artist and poet, invited Survival to feature Tribal Voice
videos in her exhibition at the Tate Modern in London. As part of the events
associated with her installation, Survival gave a talk on the Tribal Voice project andSurvival’s work in the Tate Lates programme.
Survival also released a particularly special Tribal Voice video, featuring Karapiru
Awá. Karapiru lived on the run, alone, for ten years after his family were massacred,only to find the son who he believed was dead was in fact alive and well. The story
captures much of what Survival highlights in its work – the violence against
Indigenous people; the right of those who want to remain uncontacted; and above
all, their spirit of resistance and survival.
MEDIA
Press
In 2022, Survival secured more media coverage than in the previous two years – we
had over 200 press mentions and interviews around the world. Our press releases
have consistently been picked up by leading news outlets including The Guardian,
the BBC, the Independent, the Washington Post, Reuters and others. There has
been a conscious effort to grow the Survival press lists, and by the end of the year,
2,916 journalists were subscribed to Survival’s English-language press email list, an
increase of 109 year on year.
Survival’s press release alerting the world to the death of the man known as “theMan of the Hole,” in August prompted a huge wave of media coverage, including in
the BBC, The Guardian, Washington Post, NPR, The New York Times, and others.
The key message was that the genocide of his people was now complete, and that
if other uncontacted tribes’ lands aren’t protected, further cases of genocide could
happen.

One of the highlights for 2022 was securing an interview with Amazon Guardian
Olimpio Guajajara on Channel 4 News. The Guardian and the BBC also interviewed
Olimpio, spreading his message to millions of people while he was in London.
Social MediaSurvival has been continuing to focus on building the movement for Indigenous andtribal peoples’ rights online via social media, and in 2022 launched channels on
TikTok and Telegram, whilst remaining active on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram andFacebook.
YouTube and Instagram are Survival’s fastest-growing platforms. Year on year
we’ve increased our follower numbers by over 11,000 on YouTube, 9,000 on
Instagram, and 3,300 on Twitter. We’ve gained 5,000 followers on TikTok in the few
months since launch, and have 90 subscribers on Telegram. Facebook followers
continue to decrease, as organic posting is not favored by the Facebook algorithm.
Because of this, Survival has started using some paid advertising to ensure thatcertain posts and messages gain further reach and visibility. For example, the#SaveHasdeo campaign video, voiced by Anoushka Shankar, reached over 100,000
people, and thousands more across other platforms.
We worked on careful curation of our YouTube account in particular, ensuring that
only relevant videos are visible on the platform, that descriptions and other wording
are consistently on-brand, and that the community area is regularly updated.
Twitter is a useful tool for communicating news and for keeping followers up todate; however, Elon Musk's takeover in October has had tangible effects on the
success of Survival’s work on the platform. People have fled the platform in droves,costing Survival hundreds of followers. However, the follower numbers are growing
again, bringing Survival’s numbers back up to 59.9k followers, having dropped from
59.9k to 59.5k after the Musk takeover. Twitter engagement rate was consistently
above 2.5% in the first half of the year; by the end of the year the average
engagement rate increased to consistently above 3.5%.
2022 saw reels (short vertical videos) boom, and Survival posted increasingly in thisformat. Our reels about the "Man of the Hole" and the Amazon Guardians gained
thousands of views and brought new people to the movement. Other highlights
include the Instagram live events with Big Wind and Chief Ben Barnes, whichstrengthened relations between Survival and Indigenous people and organizationsin the USA.
EDUCATION
Survival has continued to work hard to broaden its range of written and audio-visual
resources. With our materials, educators of all age groups can feel empowered tobring the issue of tribal and Indigenous peoples’ rights to their lessons and caneffectively amplify tribal and Indigenous voices in the classroom. We have received
excellent feedback from educators using our materials: one school was so inspiredby what it had learned about Survival’s work that they organised a fundraising eventin which primary school children put on a play for their parents to highlightproblems facing tribal peoples, and organised stalls to sell items which the children
had made. The event raised nearly £500 for Survival.
Importantly, the Education team is getting nearer to reaching Survival’s goal of
having a dedicated Education area on our website, which is on track to be launchedin 2023. This will be a significant step forward, allowing Survival to showcase theplethora of new educational resources available and to more effectively promote
Survival’s work with tribal peoples to educational institutions across the UK andbeyond.
Survival’s educational resources have also been used effectively beyond the
traditional classroom. They have seen good engagement on social media, with one
video being viewed over 15,000 times across platforms. Furthermore, in 2022, wehave established that educational resources can successfully feature in campaignrelated outreach events - for example, a new video originally intended for classroom
use allowed us to bring tribal and Indigenous voices from across the world to an
Amazon Guardians event in London. Similarly, a binaural sound resource (to belistened to with headphones) designed for teachers to show their pupils provided
new and exciting content for supporters worldwide during Uncontacted Tribes
Week.
WEBSITEThe main projects for Survival’s web team in 2022 included migrating hosting for
the website, which roughly halved Survival’s hosting costs as well as improving thedevelopment pipeline. There was also a strong focus on database migration,
moving to a different database that is better integrated with the new hosting
platform (MySQL -> PostgreSQL).
There were also major strides in the upgrades of Survival’s programming language(Ruby) and our website framework (Rails). Both are now only one version away fromthe latest releases.
Survival moved to Engaging Networks to host, manage and track the performanceof its action pages, as well as to improve email marketing strategies. With the
integration to Engaging Networks completed, there is now more clarity in how
campaign actions are performing and how goals are being met.
There has also been a lot of effort put into updating the content management
system (CMS) so that it looks more consistent across all sections, to make it easierfor staff to use. The Google sign-in method was also implemented for ease of use,to streamline work and improve security. The User Interface has been improved,
and many outstanding bugs have been fixed in various CMS functions.

SUPPORTERS
COMMUNITY FUNDRAISINGIn May 2022, Survival hosted Run for Survival, the international virtual race, once
again. The London office managed the involvement of 88 participants.
In October, seven Survival supporters took on the London Marathon, and together
they raised over £10,000.
In addition to fundraising events run by Survival, supporters have been getting intouch individually and organising their own fundraising events. For example, two
supporters participated in a 72-hour dance-a-thon, and another supporter ran the
Chiltern 50km race, to raise awareness and funds for Survival.
OUTREACH EVENTSAt the beginning of September, Survival organised a public event during Olimpio
Guajajara's visit to the UK, at Second Home in east London. The event was soldout: over 100 tickets were sold, with proceeds going to the Amazon Guardians.
On the back of the Second Home talk, Survival was invited to speak at a Tate Lates
event as part of an installation by artist Cecilia Vicuña called “The Quipu of
Encounters: Rituals and Assemblies.”
Survival gave a very successful talk at a “For Dom, Bruno & the Amazon” event in
Lancaster, organised by friends and relatives of Dom Philips. Survival also had input
into the exhibition panels displayed at the event, which featured stories about Dom
and Bruno’s lives, Survival’s work and the humanitarian crisis in the Amazon.
SURVIVAL’S SHOP (www.survivalinternational.org/shop)
The online shop continues to be the single largest annual fundraiser, and largest
source of new supporters.
All images continue to be donated by artists and photographers, meaning more
funds can be spent on fighting for tribal peoples’ rights.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODSThe Trustees will continue to forward the objectives of the charity, using thecomplementary methods of education and awareness, field projects, and researchand publicity.
The threats against tribal peoples, especially in Brazil, India and the Congo Basinare acute and growing. We will continue to allocate significant resources towards
preventing the annihilation of uncontacted tribes (the most vulnerable peoples on
the planet), stopping the abuse of tribal peoples in the name of “conservation,”preventing the illegal destruction of tribal peoples lands and livelihoods byextractive industries, and opposing the theft of tribal peoples’ lands and denial of
their rights to self-determination.
We continue to invest in new systems and platforms to better reach and engage
with supporters, and to track the impact of our work. They will help us work more
efficiently and effectively. We also continue to adapt our ways of working to adjust
to the realities of working through (and, eventually after) the Covid pandemic, and tobuild better ways of working between the various Survival International offices
internationally.

receive less than ten complaints per year that the frequency is excessive. Those
who request not to be contacted are immediately removed from our mailing lists.
No pressure is exercised. Much of our income is from unsolicited giving including
legacies.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Survival rejects government funding. We won’t compromise our independence or
our integrity. We’re proud of all we achieve on such a limited budget. By relying on
donations from the general public, we also keep our fundraising costs extremely
low. In 2022 for every £1 donated, we spent only 5.9p to raise the next £11.
