A new report by #SurvivalInternational, a London-based #IndigenousRights organization, attempts one of the broadest tallies yet, identifying at least 196 #UncontactedIndigenous groups in 10 countries, primarily in South American nations sharing the #AmazonRainforest. Released Sunday, the report estimates that nearly 65% face threats from #logging, ~40% from #mining & ~20% from #agribusiness.

“These are what I would call silent #genocides — there are no TV crews, no #journalists. But they are happening, & they’re happening now,” said Fiona Watson, Survival’s research & advocacy director, who has worked on #IndigenousRights for >3 decades.

Green tech provides the cheapest energy? Great, we'll use it to pull more oil from the ground.
