“We are the Hongana Manyawa. We defend the forests and mountains because we think of them as our parents.” The Hongana Manyawa – whose name means ‘People of the Forest’ in their own language – are one of the last nomadic hunter gatherer peoples in Indonesia. Out of a total population of some 3,500 people, around 500 of them are uncontacted and refuse interactions with outsiders. But the uncontacted people are being sacrificed for electric car batteries. The Hongana Manyawa are running out of rainforest and running out of time. They desperately need international support to stop the destruction of their rainforest home, which is being destroyed by nickel mining for electric car batteries.

"When the Earth's alive, when there's nature, there's life" The Karipuna Indigenous Territory in Brazil has been one of the most invaded and deforested areas in the entire country. In this video, leader André Karipuna denounces the terrible situation in the territory and how it affects their daily lives. He wants the invasions to end so that future generations can grow up alongside the forest, just as he did. Follow Survival to hear more from Indigenous people fighting for their rights. (fb)
