Latest news from the fight for tribal peoples' survival.
Spanish supporters raise awareness among attendees of a travel fair in Madrid that tourism and evictions are harming tigers and tribes in India.
Last month
we told you about our tiger boycott. We asked you to pledge not to visit any of India's tiger reserves until tribal peoples' rights are respected, and many of you responded!
The truth is, tribal peoples and tigers have been living alongside each other in India's forests for generations. But now, tribal peoples are being
forced off their land, while tourists are welcomed. It’s destroying communities, it’s illegal, and it’s also not good for tiger conservation.
The good news is that our boycott has been
making waves around the world. A host of famous faces from India and the UK have come out in support of the global campaign, along with tribal peoples themselves. The Jenu Kuruba spoke out powerfully against the evictions, asking "Who has empowered the Forest Department to take our freedom?"
Please join Survival’s tourism boycott of all India’s tiger reserves until tribal peoples’ rights are respected! If you haven't already, you can pledge your support

A message from the heart of the Amazon
Beto Marubo asked us to broadcast this message to you from a monitoring expedition of neighbouring uncontacted tribes. He said, "Uncontacted Indians can't speak out – they want to avoid contact. So spreading information like this is crucial."
