.@SuluhuSamia - despite brutal repression & cruel denial of basic health & education services - #Ngorongoro communities continue to courageously protest for their basic rights!

When will donors @USAmbTanzania @USAIDTanzania @usembassytz take action?

During the last #UNPFII, Galina Angarova (Buryat), #CulturalSurvival Executive Director, demanded respect for #IndigenousPeoples' right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent #FPIC from governments and corporations in their pursuit of #TransitionMinerals. #SIRGECoalition

Indigenous leaders drive change! 🌏🌱

They're making their voices heard, advocating for climate action & human rights in the green transition.

Ahead of #IndigenousPeoplesDay, let's support their efforts for a sustainable future 💚

Indigenous lands are NOT sacrifice zones. Extractive industries encroach on Indigenous communities, forcing them to bear the brunt of extractive development. Our communities have long been disproportionately impacted by climate change and the forces responsible for creating it.

Yannick says #Conservation is the biggest source of injustice to #Indigenous people out there. @WWF and @TheWCS’s projects have resulted in inhumane evictions, beatings, torture, murders all over the world.

Survival International: The violence faced by the Baka at the hands of WWF-funded ecoguards has reduced thanks to the campaign against the Messok Dja project, but the rights of the Baka have still not been recognized.

After protests in 2011, the government amended the Moroccan constitution to make the Amazigh language, Tamazight, an official language. Nevertheless, Amazigh advocates say that language integration mandated by the constitution has been delayed. https://t.co/iJfXa0h0wj

🚨 Illegal mining is rapidly destroying the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Territory - and the perpetrators may be the very same people who had been mining in the Yanomami territory, before the government operation to remove illegal miners began earlier this year.

Indigenous people are being persecuted & their rights violated. It’s killing them, but they’re fighting back.

#FightRacism - for tribes, for nature, for all humanity. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

When #UncontactedTribes' land rights are protected, they're among the world’s most self-sufficient peoples. We’re fighting for the rights of #UncontactedTribes globally.

Sign our pledge to support them: https://t.co/bO8geAbdUI

[Survival International @Survival]

We’re outside the Brazilian embassy in London right now - protesting against the genocidal PL490 bill. It’s the biggest attack on Indigenous rights in decades. If passed, it’d deny Indigenous people their rights & could allow forced contact with #UncontactedTribes.
