President Jair Bolsonaro is trying to turn back the clock on indigenous rights.<\/a><\/ins> He wants to strip their autonomy, sell off their territories for logging and mining and \u201cassimilate\u201d them against their wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He once said<\/a><\/ins>: \u201cIt\u2019s a shame that the Brazilian cavalry hasn\u2019t been as efficient as the Americans, who exterminated the Indians.\u201d Under his administration, an area of Amazon rainforest the size of a soccer pitch is destroyed every minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the air the President breathes different to the air we breathe?<\/p>Reginaldo Apyawa<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Brazil today is home to around 305 distinct indigenous peoples, including around 100 uncontacted tribes<\/a><\/ins>. All of them are now in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival International has stood in solidarity with Brazil\u2019s indigenous peoples for 50 years \u2013 for their survival, for the protection of some of Earth\u2019s most biodiverse territories, for the health of our planet, and for all humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are fighting alongside them to defend their lives and lands. You can join the fightback against Brazil\u2019s genocide now<\/a><\/ins>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch and share indigenous people\u2019s urgent messages<\/a><\/ins> and follow #TribalVoice!Download<\/a> our activist pack of key resources you can use to take action.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is undoubtedly one of the worst moments for indigenous peoples since the military dictatorship.<\/p>Beto Marubo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Across Brazil, indigenous peoples are fighting back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

APIB, the Association of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil,<\/a><\/ins> said: \u201cWe have the right to exist. We won\u2019t retreat. We\u2019ll denounce this government around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil\u2019s indigenous peoples, their supporters and allies, and Survival International are fighting back as the President plots to steal their land, destroy their lives and annihilate them as peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest ever international protest for indigenous rights<\/a><\/ins> took place in Bolsonaro\u2019s first month in office, and raising our voices together has already make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tribal peoples thwart Bolsonaro\u2019s attempts to dismantle FUNAI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bolsonaro has tried to cripple FUNAI, Brazil\u2019s indigenous affairs department, and moved to make it easier for agri-business and extractive industries to exploit resources in tribal territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indigenous peoples prevent the abolishment of Sesai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bolsonaro\u2019s administration wanted to abolish the indigenous healthcare system, Sesai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He failed again. Indigenous groups protested in many parts of the country, occupying public buildings and highways in support of Sesai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a week or so after the proposition was first floated, the government backed down and said that the indigenous healthcare system would not be abolished after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival has 50 years\u2019 experience of effective campaigning that gets results. Since 1969, in partnership with indigenous peoples, we have run more than 50 successful campaigns in Brazil alone, and hundreds more worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve stopped loggers, miners, and oil companies from destroying tribal lands, lives and livelihoods. We\u2019ve persuaded governments to recognize indigenous rights. We continue to document and expose the atrocities committed against tribal people and take direct action to stop them. With your help, we can end Bolsonaro\u2019s war on indigenous peoples: For tribes, for nature, for all humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
