@survivalinternational.orgNow, many Indigenous peoples are beaten or even killed if they try to reclaim their territories, while paying tourists can come in and enjoy that same Native land.
It’s time to #DecolonizeConservation. Help spread the word - share this post.
@survivalinternational.orgBut the Indigenous peoples of the territories are the reason these areas are so biodiverse. They manage and look after their nature because it’s part of their communities. Forcing Indigenous peoples out is a human rights violation which actually harms the environment.
@survivalinternational.orgThis was the birth of conservation as it’s practiced today. Around the world, even now in 2026, Indigenous peoples are being kicked out of their lands to make way for national parks, Protected Areas, nature conservancies and more.
@survivalinternational.org#OnThisDay in 1890, Yosemite National Park was created in the USA.
But Yosemite is Native land. The Native Americans of the area, the Ahwahneechee peoples, were kicked out and their lands were stolen, in the name of nature protection.
@survivalinternational.orgLast week there was a hearing in Uruguay on the uncontacted Mashco Piro people…from Peru. Why? And what happens now?
They're the largest of the 196 known uncontacted peoples and groups in the world, and they could be wiped out if their territories aren’t protected.

@survivalinternational.org60 Indigenous people from 16 countries around the world who came together for the unprecedented gathering signed the declaration.
Read the declaration: svlint.org/nairobi-decl...
@survivalinternational.orgThe gathering brought together for the first time Indigenous representatives from around the world who are fighting conservation – to expose the human cost of fortress conservation and carbon markets, while presenting Indigenous-led alternatives.
@survivalinternational.orgThe Declaration outlines the scale of the problem: “For decades, our lands have been grabbed and stolen by conservation cartels under the guise of saving Mother Earth. Our territories are turned into national parks, tiger reserves, conservancies and trophy hunting reserves without our consent.”
@survivalinternational.orgThey issued the Nairobi Declaration at the gathering, which also contains a blunt ultimatum to well-known conservation bodies, including WWF, WCS, African Parks, UNESCO and others to leave their lands and respect their rights, or they’ll kick them out.
@survivalinternational.org📣 “This is not conservation – it’s a cartel.” ✊ "Leave our lands and respect our rights, or else we shall kick you out.” In Nairobi, Indigenous people have gathered for the first time to demand that “our ancestral lands, including those grabbed for parks and wildlife sanctuaries, be returned.”
@survivalinternational.org📣 “We’ve come before the Court so that it can order the Peruvian government to safeguard the rights of our brothers to live in their territory, and to stop once and for all the threats by loggers and other invaders.” - Julio Cusurichi Palacios, Shipibo people, AIDESEP, former president of FENAMAD.
