The Keepers of the Earth Fund (KOEF) is proud to announce our 2024 partnership with Indigenous communities. At Cultural Survival, we value cultivating long-term relationships with our partners by supporting Indigenous projects on issues related to community empowerment for the defense of land and autonomy; strengthening Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledge systems; conservation of Indigenous land and livelihoods in the face of climate change; and resistance to mining as a part of the solution to the “green” energy transition.
Cultural Survival expresses our deep concern and indignation in the face of the continuous criminalization and rights violations against Indigenous defenders in Bolivia. In October 2024, the Quechua community of Totoral Chico rejected a farce consultation by mining company La Salvada Sociedad Colectiva, which was already operating in their territory. Now, the leaders are being threatened and criminalized. All eyes on Bolivia!
