Survival International was founded in 1969 by a group of people appalled by the genocide of the Amazon’s Indigenous people as detailed in a Sunday Times exposé, which featured powerful images from the acclaimed photographer Don McCullin.
It exists to prevent the annihilation of tribal peoples and to give them a platform to speak to the world so they can bear witness to the genocidal violence, slavery and racism they face on a daily basis.
Stephen Corry, Director of Survival, said today: “Powerful images have always been at the heart of the fight for tribal peoples’ survival. We’re delighted to have gathered so many beautiful images to reflect the peoples whose struggles Survival exists to support. I hope that they will energize people to get behind this cause, which is one of the most urgent and horrific humanitarian crises of our time.”
