New uncontacted pictures validate Brazil’s Yanomami territory 20 years on - Survival International: Survival has released new pictures of an uncontacted Yanomami village in Brazil, 20 years after one of its crucial campaigns created the biggest forested indigenous territory in the world.
Survival International, Yanomami leader Davi Kopenawa and Brazil’s Pro Yanomami Commission were instrumental in securing the victory.
These new pictures emphasize how important the territory is in protecting the Yanomami from goldminers who devastated the tribe in the 1980s.
The ‘Yanomami Park’ is one of many initiatives spearheaded by Survival International. In a new section of its website, it highlights how the time when entire peoples could be wiped out without anyone noticing is drawing to a close.
