OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

OBJECTS AND PURPOSES

Survival International is the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights. We help tribal peoples defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures. Our principal objects and purposes are:

ACTIVITIES

In order to achieve these objectives, Survival:

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees of Survival International confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit and the need to provide an explanation of the achievements during the year under review.

All our activities focussed on defending the lives and protecting the lands of tribal peoples benefit both specific peoples and the public in general. Tribal peoples number more than 150 million individuals worldwide and add hugely to the diversity of humankind. We also believe that campaigning to put tribal peoples – the best guardians of the natural world – at the forefront of the environmental movement benefits all humanity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

HIGHLIGHTS

This year, Survival secured some major victories in our key campaigns with Indigenous peoples for their rights to be respected. (See below). Additionally, some key events and developments included:

Change in Chief Executive

In March 2021, Stephen Corry stepped down as Director (Chief Executive) of Survival International, after nearly 50 years of service to the organisation. This began when he joined as a volunteer in 1972, in time becoming Projects Director. In 1984, he was appointed Director General, a position he held until March 2021. Throughout this time, Stephen demonstrated unflinching dedication to the rights of tribal peoples. His guidance, determination and creativity enabled Survival to make a huge impact in favour of tribal peoples’ rights over decades, while also ensuring that he left the organisation financially stable and well prepared for challenges ahead. The Trustees of Survival express their huge gratitude to Stephen for all he did for the organisation and the cause.

On Stephen’s departure, the Trustees appointed Caroline Pearce to serve as the new Executive Director (Chief Executive). Caroline has a long history with Survival, having served on staff from 1999 to 2003, and as a Trustee from 2007 to the beginning of 2021.

Coronavirus and the return to in-person working

Survival has worked hard to continue raising awareness of, and fighting against, the huge threat that Covid19 poses to the survival of tribal peoples around the world. Meanwhile, the global rollout of vaccines and treatments meant that some in-person activities began to resume in the second half of the year. Survival staff were able to conduct some face-to-face working again for the first time in over a year, and the organization as a whole held a number of important events that boosted our campaigning for Indigenous peoples worldwide.

Uncontacted Tribes Week

Earlier in the year while restrictions were still in place, Survival organized its first-ever Uncontacted Tribes Week. During the week we raised awareness about the existence of uncontacted tribes, gave supporters a chance to learn more and ask questions, highlighted key campaigns, and cemented Survival’s role as a global source of expertise on the subject. Our Instagram Takeover with Extinction Rebellion for Uncontacted Tribes Week facilitated this, with our uncontacted explainer graphics being seen by almost 400,000 people – the third most successful post on XR’s account ever.

#RunForSurvival

In May, the Supporter Department organized the first ever #RunForSurvival, in which hundreds of supporters all over the world took a step further for tribal peoples by walking, swimming, biking and running to raise money for Survival.

“Our land, our nature” Congress

In September, along with other partners and allies, Survival organized the “Our land, our nature” alternative congress in Marseille, France, to speak out against human rights abuses in the name of conservation, and amplify Indigenous voices, against the backdrop of the IUCN World Congress taking place then in the same city. Thirty speakers, many Indigenous, from more than 18 countries participated, with over a hundred inperson attendees and more than 3,000 attending online. The congress made a striking impact on the debate over the need to decolonize conservation; generated a huge amount of press coverage around the world; and

Survival International

a “Marseille Manifesto” – a “people’s manifesto for the future of conservation” – was later released which laid out a vision for Indigenous-centered conservation.

COP26

The global climate talks known as COP26, having been delayed due to the Covid pandemic, took place in November 2021, in Glasgow. While not participating in the formal agenda, Survial co-organized two events the People’s Summit, the counter-conference taking place in Glasgow at the same time. Our seminar on mining on Adivasi (Indigenous) land in India bought Adivasi voices to Glasgow and was the only event at the Summit to be translated into Indigenous languages. We also attended protests and other events, gave media interviews, met with Indigenous delegates and contacts, and connected journalists interested to Indigenous representatives in Glasgow.

Launch of new campaign “Adivasis against coal”

In 2021 we launched a major new campaign, “Adivasis Against Coal,” to expose and oppose plans for a massive expansion of coal mining on Indigenous lands in India. Adivasi people have been bravely resisting this assault, in the face of harassment, arrests, evictions and worse. The unique Hasdeo Forest in Chhattisgarh, home to 20,000 Adivasis, is a key target for the coal miners.

The campaign has garnered press interest around the world, especially in the run-up to COP26 (which Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended), and Survival has helped foster new connections between Indigenous movements fighting to protect their lands.

KEY CAMPAIGNS

Uncontacted Tribes

There are more than a hundred uncontacted tribes around the world today. They are a vitally important part of humankind’s diversity, but they face catastrophe unless their land is protected. We're doing everything we can to secure their land for them, and to let them live. Where their land rights are respected, uncontacted tribes thrive.

Right now, whole populations are being wiped out by violence from outsiders who steal their land and resources, or by diseases like flu and measles to which they have no resistance. This year, Covid-19 has posed a new lethal threat to their survival.

Survival is a world authority on uncontacted tribes and has been successfully campaigning for their lands to be protected since 1969.

Uncontacted tribes of Brazil

This year we shone a spotlight on Land Protection Orders (LPOs): little-known but vital protections for uncontacted tribes in Brazil whose lands have not yet been officially demarcated. Alongside a series of campaign and lobbying actions throughout the year, we mobilized thousands around the world to demand that important LPOs that were about to expire be renewed; more than 17,000 urgent action emails were sent across six languages.

We also released a new Tribal Voice video of Rita Piripkura, the only person from Brazil’s Piripkura tribe in regular contact with outsiders. This unique footage, along with a new Survival video on the topic, allowed us to raise the profile of the campaign on social media and with press.

Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements

Survival International

With our allies in Brazil we scored two pivotal victories, as the LPOs for the Piripkura and Pirititi territories were renewed. Had they not been, the peoples concerned could well have been wiped out. 2022 will be an important year for the campaign however, with more LPOs up for renewal, and an administration that’s hostile to the whole notion of Indigenous rights.

In 2021 we kept up our work on other key uncontacted Brazil cases, including the Yanomami, tribes of the Javari Valley, and the Awá, where we also continued our long-standing support for the Amazon Guardians, and their fight to protect the forest for their uncontacted Awá neighbors.

Uncontacted tribes of Peru

Survival supporters sent over 7,000 emails to the Peruvian government, demanding it protect uncontacted tribes’ territories before they’re destroyed. This effort, together with campaigning by Peru’s Indigenous organizations, saw two of the territories finally recognized and protected in law: the Yavarí-Tapiche Indigenous Reserve and the Kakataibo Indigenous Reserve, a total of 1,244,873 hectares.

Uncontacted tribes of Paraguay

The Ayoreo-Totobiegosode are the only uncontacted tribe in South America living outside the Amazon. Survival has campaigned for the Ayoreo’s land claim for more than 25 years, and while a part of their land has been protected, the uncontacted Ayoreo-Totobiegosode won’t survive unless their remaining forest is recognized and protected also.

In 2021, their representatives withdrew from negotiations with the Paraguayan authorities aimed at trying to reach a settlement of their land claim: the talks had been going on for five years, but had made almost no progress, and in the meantime the authorities had done little to stop the rampant destruction of Ayoreo territory by ranchers.

The Ayoreo decided instead to request a formal intervention from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and have asked it to order the Paraguayan state to finally return their land to them. Survival has worked with them to publicize this request.

At the same time, Survival has put direct pressure on the Paraguayan government by writing to key people and ministries. Our supporters also sent thousands of emails urging the Government to return the Ayoreo’s land to them.

In addition, we wrote to the Public Ministry asking it to pay urgent attention to the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode's complaint of invasion and deforestation in their territory; this prompted the state attorney to get involved in the case, and local public prosecutors to investigate, and take action to expel some of those responsible.

Stop Brazil’s Genocide

The situation for Indigenous peoples in Brazil is critical: President Bolsonaro openly boasts of his desire to destroy the country’s Indigenous peoples for good, and is doing everything he can to achieve it, including attempting to push several controversial bills through Congress, and backing other measures that together constitute a devastating blow to the very survival of the country’s first peoples.

Indigenous peoples across Brazil have protested, marched and mobilized in response. Survival has stood shoulder to shoulder with them, organizing solidarity protests across Europe and the US, lobbying the government and publicizing the struggle.

One of the most pernicious attacks on Indigenous peoples in Brazil known as the Time Limit Trick is a proposition instigated by President Bolsonaro’s agribusiness allies and now being heard in the country’s

Survival International

Supreme Court. This says that if indigenous peoples were not living on their land on 5 October 1988 – the date of the signing of Brazil’s constitution, which obliges the government to demarcate Indigenous lands– they don’t have the right to live there.

Survival has campaigned vociferously against the Time Limit Trick. We live-tweeted during the Supreme Court hearings (which have not yet reached a conclusion); have carried out numerous media interviews about it; and have continued to lobby the authorities.

Conservation

Tribal peoples have been dependent on and managed their environments for millennia. Evidence proves that they are better at looking after their environment than anyone else. They are the best conservationists and guardians of the natural world and as such we are working to ensure they are at the forefront of the environmental movement.

But tribal peoples are being illegally evicted from their ancestral homelands in the name of conservation. With eco-fascist narratives on the rise, fueled by the coronavirus pandemic and false solutions to climate change, and with a plan to turn 30% of the Earth’s surface into “Protected Areas,” the conservation industry poses an ever greater threat to tribal peoples’ survival.

Survival International is leading the fight against the abuse of tribal peoples in the name of conservation: for tribes, for nature, for all humanity.

Decolonize Conservation

Survival’s Decolonize Conservation campaign is challenging the narrative of the conservation industry, changing minds, influencing policy, denouncing human rights abuses, and putting the big conservation organizations under pressure to respect human rights as never before.

#OurLandOurNature

In September, as outlined above, we organized the world’s first congress on decolonizing conservation. It brought together more than 30 speakers, many Indigenous, from 18 countries, with major press coverage from media outlets such as the Guardian, Mongabay, El País, Le Point Afrique and many others around the world.

There were linked protests in France, Spain and Italy, and taken together the event shone a powerful spotlight on the catastrophic effects of traditional “fortress conservation.”

30x30: the biggest land grab in history

In the teeth of Covid-19, we launched our #BigGreenLie campaign, showing how plans to turn 30% of Earth into Protected Areas by 2030 would mean the theft of Indigenous lands on a huge scale. If passed, this would lead to severe human rights violations, cause irreversible harm for some of the world’s most vulnerable people, including tribal peoples, and do nothing to prevent loss of forests and other habitats.

Thousands watched our launch video online, and our campaigners met with officials and parliamentarians in Germany, France, the US and at the European Commission to discuss the proposal and explain its profound flaws. Our lobbying activities were instrumental in getting politicians and even the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment to question the implications of the 30% proposal, and have led to some proposed changes in the wording of the draft post-2020 Biodiversity Framework (though it remains far from acceptable).

“Deceit, cover-ups, dishonesty”

In an unprecedented hearing in the US Congress – prompted by Survival’s lobbying – members of the House Natural Resources Committee interrogated a senior WWF official over abuses of tribal people in conservation areas. ‘Dishonest,” “embarrassing,” “irresponsible,” “shocking”: Representatives lined up to denounce WWF’s persistent use of US tax dollars to fund horrific abuses in the name of conservation. The hearing was an important step in preparations for a forthcoming US bill to ensure US financial support for conservation projects are never again used to finance human rights abuses against Indigenous and local communities.

Nature Based Solutions

In 2021 Survival also took on the challenge of exposing carbon-offset schemes, branded Nature Based Solutions (NBS) and Net Zero as false solutions to the climate crisis that will result in massive theft of Indigenous Peoples’ land. Detailed research clearly reveals that claims that NBS can deliver 37% of necessary climate mitigations by 2030 are scientifically fraudulent. To achieve this would require an area of land almost the size of Australia – likely to be stolen from Indigenous and local people from the Global South. These proposed solutions would massively increase funding for conservation, including through selling “carbon credits” from Protected Areas, leading to more evictions and abuses while allowing companies to keep on polluting. In 2021, Survival drew public and political attention to this dangerous deception, including in partnership with organisations from the Global South. We co-hosted a panel on False Solutions, with Indigenous speakers, at the People’s Summit event linked to COP26 in Glasgow, issued press releases, publicised data, and released articles debunking the NBS claims and explaining their dangers.

Tiger Reserves in India

Survival continued to support the rights of Adivasis (Indigenous Peoples) living in India’s tiger reserves in 2021. We ensured that when the Jenu Kuruba, whose land has been turned into Nagarhole Tiger Reserve and National Park, courageously staged a huge protest, demanding their rights to their land and to be able to protect and manage their own forest, it was covered by both the Indian and International media.

Thousands of Survival’s supporters wrote to the national and local authorities urging them to respect the Jenu Kuruba’s rights. When forest guards harassed Jenu Kuruba leaders and filed false criminal charges against them in retaliation for organising their protest, we made sure that this too gained national and international attention and helped put pressure on the authorities not to arrest the Jenu Kuruba’s leaders.

In a major success, the Indian government dropped its plan to explore for uranium in Amrabad Tiger Reserve, home to the Chenchu tribe. This decision followed earlier rejections of the plans by the state government in response to protests from the Chenchu, environmentalists and local politicians. Survival had helped expose the hypocrisy of attempting to evict the Chenchu in the name of tiger conservation, while allowing exploration for uranium mining.

Adivasis against coal

2021 saw the launch of a major new campaign, “Adivasis against coal,” to expose and oppose plans for a massive expansion of coal mining on Indigenous lands in India’s central belt. Adivasi (Indigenous) people have been bravely resisting this onslaught, in the face of harassment, arrests, evictions and worse. The unique Hasdeo Forest, home to 20,000 Adivasis, is a key target for the coal miners.

The campaign has garnered press interest around the world and Survival has helped foster new connections between Indigenous movements fighting to protect their lands. We’ve also been amplifying Adivasi voices

Survival International

through the production of several new Tribal Voice videos, and campaigned for the release of Adivasi activists imprisoned simply for defending their people’s lands.

Speaking out at #COP26

While India’s Prime Minister Modi tried to proclaim his green credentials at #COP26, Survival ensured that Adivasi voices were heard. Our event at the parallel People’s Summit offered a platform to Adivasi activists and leaders: and was the only event at the Summit to be translated into multiple Indigenous languages. And like thousands of others at COP, we marched on the streets for climate justice and Adivasi rights, holding signs in both English and Hindi.

MayflowersKill

Thanks to our ongoing collaborations with Indigenous peoples in what is now the U.S., #MayflowersKill created and launched two Activist Kits: an Educator Toolkit and a Social Media Toolkit that provide resources for people of all ages to learn and educate others about Indigenous history of the U.S, and how colonialism continues and is being replicated in other parts of the world.

Each toolkit contains a variety of multimedia resources that highlight the testimonies of Indigenous peoples in the U.S. on the Mayflower, Thanksgiving (National Day of Mourning), and other colonial myths. The Educator toolkit includes lesson plans for middle and high school students and book recommendations for all ages, and both also contain resources about our Uncontacted Tribes and Decolonize Conservation campaigns. We continue to disseminate the toolkits, which were utilized this fall in a handful of U.S. (east coast) classrooms.

We also hosted two Indigenous Peoples' Day livestreams in October on Facebook and Instagram. Both focused on decolonizing conservation with Indigenous leaders from organizations that work in Indigenous land stewardship advocacy and practices. These brought in many viewers and new networks to our campaigns.

TRIBAL VOICE

Survival’s Tribal Voice project invites indigenous people around the world to record videos speaking about what matters to them. Survival then releases these videos globally, subtitled in several languages.

Survival released 32 Tribal Voice videos in 2021. In a time of lockdowns and travel restrictions, Tribal Voice videos have been an invaluable resource for spreading the word on Indigenous issues and engaging people in their and Survival’s campaigns.

In July, we released a special Tribal Voice video of Rita Piripkura, the only person from Brazil’s Piripkura tribe in regular contact with outsiders. This unique footage allowed us to raise the profile of the Uncontacted Tribes campaign on social media and led to some major news coverage in outlets such as the BBC, Open Democracy and Mongabay, which further pushed the Brazilian government to renew crucial Land Protection Orders.

Straight from COP26, we filmed a Tribal Voice video of Alessandra Munduruku, who called for Indigenous Peoples to be recognized as driving the solutions to the climate crisis, and demanded an end to the false solutions governments and companies are pushing while they continue to pollute the planet.

In December, our newly released Tribal Voice video of Phillip Kujur from the Oraon tribe of India speaking in front of the Hasdeo Forest mine went viral on Facebook, reaching almost 800,000 people, gaining over

Survival International

12,000 likes and being shared 2,000 times. This also led to the biggest increase in over 2 years for Survival’s Facebook page and brought significant attention to our Adivasi Against Coal campaign.

MEDIA

Press

In 2021, Survival secured a huge amount of media coverage, including 171 mentions of Survival and our work in the press, and dozens of TV and radio interviews around the world.

Some of our most-covered stories of 2021 included the Land Protection Orders campaign, and especially the effort to protect the Piripkura territory in Brazil. Major news outlets that covered this story were the BBC, Open Democracy, Mongabay and The Intercept.

Claudia Andujar’s landmark exhibition on the Yanomami held at the Barbican during the summer generated a great deal of media interest in both the exhibition itself, and Survival’s longstanding relationship and campaign with the Yanomami people, from print and online media like the Guardian, The Independent and Mongabay.

Our Decolonize Conservation campaign has increasingly been discussed alongside mainstream coverage of climate change, nature protection and biodiversity. We saw a steady stream of press interest in the “Our land, our nature” alternative congress held in Marseille in September, from outlets such as the Guardian, Mongabay and Climate Home News.

The WWF US hearing was also mentioned in the BBC, CounterPunch and Mongabay, while Survival’s various press statements released during COP26 on the policies being discussed were featured in major international outlets like Deutsche Welle, Vox, the National Herald (India), the BBC and the Guardian, allowing us to highlight Indigenous rights and our campaigns in the media surrounding the climate talks.

Social Media

Social media continues to be a vital tool to communicate and promote our campaigns, with supporters and journalists alike.

Survival’s Instagram channel is still our fastest growing platform. In 2021, we became ‘verified’ and gained over 14,000 followers, as well as hosted two successful “takeovers” with Extinction Rebellion, for Earth Day in April and Uncontacted Tribes Week in June. Both boosted follower numbers and allowed us to reach our key target audience of young climate activists, with, among other content, our #BigGreenLie video for Earth Day, and our Uncontacted explainer graphics for Uncontacted Tribes Week, which were the third most successful post on XR’s account ever, being seen by almost 400,000 people.

We also continued to work effectively with climate activists and influencers, such as Peter Gadiot, Mikaela Loach, Tori Tsui and Tony Riddle, to help bring our key messages to the forefront of online conversations around Indigenous rights.

On Twitter, our engagement rate grew for a large part of the year and we gained a significant number of impressions. Live-tweeting proved to be a useful format with which to communicate Survival’s campaigns and insert ourselves into online conversations, such as at protests and events throughout the year, including the protests in London to Stop Brazil’s Genocide, in Glasgow during COP26, during the Time Limit Trick Brazilian Supreme Court case, and the “Our land, our nature” alternative congress in France.

Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements

Survival International

In 2021, several of our posts went viral on Twitter and Facebook, such as the Hasdeo Tribal Voice video on Facebook, which reached almost 800,000 people, gained over 12,000 likes and was shared 2,000 times. This also led to the biggest increase in over 2 years for Survival’s Facebook page. Another example was our tweet on Prince William’s comments on overpopulation in Africa which was seen by over 180,000 people, liked almost 2,000 times and retweeted almost 1,000 times. It also featured in several major news outlets, such as CNN, Al Jazeera and Joe.

During the pandemic, as before, Survival mobilized its supporters online. The MayflowersKill team hosted live streams on Survival’s Facebook and Instagram for International Peoples’ Day and the #RunForSurvival, while Survival’s alternative congress in France was live-streamed to YouTube, with thousands watching online.

EDUCATION

With in-person outreach sessions paused due to the pandemic, this year has been an opportunity to work on the all-important task of building up our range of educational materials. We’ve continued to develop exciting new content, and now have a wide range of audio-visual resources suitable for primary school children. In this way, we can empower educators to bring an understanding of Indigenous rights and Survival’s work to the classroom, and ultimately help ensure as many primary school children as possible are able to learn about critical issues.

Feedback from an online outreach session with a primary school: "It was really fabulous this morning and the children loved it. Thank you hugely for the great session. We will send you in due course our pieces of work to help protect rainforests. Some of the children were very moved by the slides.”

SUPPORTERS

Survival is a global movement which draws its campaigning strength from our many thousands of supporters. We depend on them. From donating to our appeals, running fundraising campaigns and buying from our catalogue to sending lobbying emails, spreading the word on social media and attending protests, their money, energy and enthusiasm is what enables us to fight one of the most urgent and horrific humanitarian crises of our time. Here are just a few examples of the ways in which our supporters got involved in 2021:

Run for Survival

In May, the Supporter Department organized the first ever #RunForSurvival, in which hundreds of supporters all over the world took a step further for tribal peoples by walking, swimming, biking and running to raise money for Survival.

London Marathon

Seven runners took part in the London Marathon for Survival, raising nearly £10,000.

Community Fundraising

Friary bar in Cork raised £1,168 from their fundraising night for tribal peoples. They’ve previously held Brazilian-themed fundraising events in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Donating through business

Drinks company Abacaty are donating 2% of all sales from their Avocado spirit.

Survival’s Ambassadors

Actor Peter Gadiot’s Instagram fundraiser continues to raise awareness and vital funds.

Quentin Blake donated his fee from the Barbican Arts Centre for one of his stunning illustrations.

Survival Calendar

There were more images by Indigenous photographers in the 2021 calendar than in any previous edition. We sold around 2,300 of them.

Supporting our online shop

Our online shop continues to be our single largest annual fundraiser, and largest source of new supporters.

All images continue to be donated by artists and photographers, meaning more money can be spent fighting for tribal peoples’ rights.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees will continue to forward the objectives of the charity, using the complementary methods of education and awareness, field projects, and research and publicity.

The threats against tribal peoples, especially in Brazil, India and the Congo Basin are acute and growing. We will continue to allocate significant resources towards preventing the annihilation of uncontacted tribes (the most vulnerable peoples on the planet), stopping the abuse of tribal peoples in the name of “conservation,” preventing the illegal destruction of tribal peoples lands and livelihoods by extractive industries, and opposing the theft of tribal peoples’ lands and denial of their rights to self determination.

We continue to invest in new systems and platforms to better reach and engage with supporters, and to track the impact of our work. They will help us work more efficiently and effectively. We also continue to adapt our ways of working to adjust to the realities of working through (and, eventually after) the Covid pandemic, and to build better ways of working between the various Survival International offices internationally.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Survival is registered under the name Survival International Charitable Trust as a limited company (no. 1056317), and a charity (no. 267444) governed by a memorandum and articles of association.

Survival International Trading Ltd is registered as a limited company (no. 2844785). It has a memorandum and articles of association. Its object is to sell appropriate goods at a profit, which is given to the charity, and to promote the charity in other ways.

Survival and all its components are governed by the Council. Council members are the Trustees of the charity. Members are chosen for their expertise and experience in relevant fields and their support for Survival’s objectives. They are elected for three-year terms by existing Council members. Induction training is provided for new Council members, who are updated on legislation and Trustee responsibility as necessary. The Council meets at least three times each year.

The Council is responsible for monitoring the charity’s activities, overseeing governance, and ensuring the charity meets its aims and objectives.

Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements

Survival International

The Council employs the Chief Executive to implement policy, raise and manage funds, and supervise the office and employees of Survival. The current Chief Executive is Caroline Pearce (appointed 16 March 2021). Stephen Corry resigned on 15 March 2021.

The pay of all Survival personnel (including key management personnel) is established annually by the Treasurer and Chairman in consultation with the Chief Executive and another senior staff member. Comparable NGO salaries are taken into account.

FUNDRAISING

Fundraising is largely carried out by appeals for financial support from existing supporters, through email or letters, at a frequency of around four times a year. We receive less than ten complaints per year that the frequency is excessive. Those who request not to be contacted are immediately removed from our mailing lists. No pressure is exercised. Much of our income is from unsolicited giving including legacies.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Coronavirus and the return to in-person working

While Survival has worked hard to continue raising awareness of, and fighting against, the huge threat that Covid-19 poses to the survival of tribal peoples around the world, the global rollout of vaccines and treatments meant that some in-person activities began to resume in the second half of the year. Survival staff were able to conduct some face-to-face working again for the first time in over a year, and the organization as a whole held a number of important events that boosted our campaigning for Indigenous peoples worldwide.

The Charity has large robust cash reserves and in addition calculations have been made to illustrate different future scenarios. For example, if the Charity lost a high percentage of revenue due to Covid-19. These show that even with an 80 per cent reduction in revenue with current 2022 budget costs, the Charity would have reserves until September 2023. This proves Survival is financially sustainable and a going concern.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Core supporters have again in 2021 provided a solid base for our charitable activities. General donations were £875,342 (2020: £876,251). 2020 general donations also include donations from Survival International España, Germany, France and USA totalling £74,253 (2021 £Nil). Income from legacies saw a decrease of £279,918 for the year. There was an increase in income from Trusts and Foundations of £19,881 for the year.

In the first quarter of 2021 grants of £100,000 were approved to each the offices of Survival Brasil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and USA to further the Charities long term objectives and to create a sustainable growth for these offices. £510,919 was actually paid over during the year (see note 3b of the financial statements).

On 3 May 2021 the Italian office branch became a stand-alone entity with its own legal status in Italy. Therefore, only income and expenditure from the branch has been included up to this date and the net assets of Italy also at this date have been gifted by Survival International UK to the Italian office. This totals £474,788 and is shown on the Statement of Financial Activities as ‘Disposal of Italian Operations’.

Total Expenditure excluding the disposal of the Italian operations and the grants to overseas offices has decreased by £107,648 as compared to last year.

12

Survival International Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements

Net expenditure of £1,090,175 was attained for the year, with losses on investments of £102,461 and other gains resulting from the fluctuation in the Sterling value of assets and liabilities of £54,220.

INVESTMENTS

Survival’s investment policy is to hold investments that will on a long-term basis provide a return of income and capital appreciation of above the rate of bank interest. The policy also states that Survival will not invest in any company whose activities are likely to compromise its objectives or to give the appearance of doing so to informed members of the public. Investments which are bequeathed or donated to Survival are reviewed on this basis and if appropriate will be sold at a time suited to maximize their return to Survival. The total return on investments for Cash and Fixed Interest Investments amount to 2.27%. The performance of the investments is actively monitored and managed by a sub-committee.

During the year ended 31 December 2019 Survival decided to assist one of its affiliated organisations Survival España with the purchase of office premises. A rent was received in 2020 from Survival España, but it is less than could be generated by similar commercial property. However, the support of the affiliates is one of the ways Survival International can achieve its aims. The property has therefore been classed as a social investment as explained in note 9b) to the financial statements. It is expected that such investments will only be made when there is an approach from an affiliate.

RESERVES

Survival’s trustees believe the charity should hold financial reserves because:

The trustees have determined that minimal level of reserves should be equivalent to 18 months operating costs, calculated and reviewed annually. Operating costs are approximately £120,580 for per month requiring a level of reserves amounting to approximately £2,170,440. The General Fund at 31 December 2021 (including the revaluation reserve) amounts to £4,436,552. We do not consider our long-dated bonds to form part of our free reserves. The Charity intends to hold them to maturity (2032-2049), drawing only the income. Their market value at the year end was £1,521,565. Therefore our contingency reserves at 31 December 2021 amount to £2,914,987. This is above the target level of reserves. The level of reserves will be monitored on a regular basis. Restricted and Designated Funds are detailed in Note 16.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining our free reserves at the levels stated above will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees examine other operational and business risks which we face and have established systems to mitigate significant risks.

The principal risks to the Charity are the uncertainty associated with donation and legacy income. Some donation income is compiled of regular direct debit donations and will continue to be managed in this way to encourage regular giving. Regarding legacies all notifications are regularly monitored to ensure receipt on a timely basis. For 2022 a budget deficit of approximately £280,000 is predicted.

FINANCIAL POLICIES

Unlike many charities, Survival receives no government subsidy. Individual supporters provide most of our

Survival International

income and the remainder is derived from many trusts and foundations and from the commercial activities of Survival International Trading.

The nature of this funding gives Survival considerable independence and so underpins its robust style of working which has proved so effective for tribal peoples since the early 1970s. Survival is the only significant international organization in the field of tribal peoples which is funded by the public.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also directors of Survival International Charitable Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report of the Council and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and with the provisions for small companies.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 December 2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBER AND TRUSTEES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Survival International Charitable Trust (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheets, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 16, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group and parent financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.

Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:

We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls

16

Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements

Survival International

operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the group and parent charitable company operate.

Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company include The Companies Act 2006 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Audit response to risks identified:

We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the parent charitable company’s records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charitable company’s policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance.

During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the parent charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the parent charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the parent charitable company and the parent charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements

Survival International

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting Policies

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. Consolidated financial statements (group accounts) have been prepared in respect of the Trust and its wholly owned subsidiary, Survival International Trading Limited. The results of Survival International Trading Limited have been consolidated into the Statement of Financial Activities on a line by line basis.

Donations are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and the settlement date.

Income generated from the supply of goods or services is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which the supply is made.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to applicable expenditure headings.

Support and governance costs have been allocated between project, publications, education and awareness and cost of raising funds.

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

Governance and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned on the basis of salaries or area occupied, whichever being the most appropriate.

Staff costs are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those activities.

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cost of raising funds consist of expenditure on raising donations and other trading activities (including those of the subsidiary) and an apportionment of support costs (shown in note 3).

Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs (shown in note 3).

Computer Equipment: 25% on reducing balance Office Equipment: 10% on reducing balance Buildings: 2% on reducing balance Database System: 33% straight line

Tangible and intangible fixed assets under £500 in value are not capitalized but treated as revenue expenditure in the year of purchase. No depreciation is charged on land or assets under construction

Intangible fixed assets (database system) are valued at cost less amortisation over three years.

Survival owns property as a social investment. This property is rented to affiliate organisations at less than market rent and is therefore classed as a mixed motive investment. The property is held at fair value in the balance sheet. Any changes in valuation are shown as investment movements within the statement of financial activities.

The trust only has financial instruments and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement date with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
