1-year countdown to end 'human safaris' in India

Survival International has launched a 1-year countdown timer to end ‘human
safaris’ to the vulnerable Jarawa tribe <http://tribes/jarawa> on India’s
Andamans Islands.
The Andaman authorities pledged to introduce an alternative sea route by
March 2015, in order to take tourists off the illegal road that cuts
through the reserve. At the moment, hundreds of tourists travel through the
Jarawa’s forest every day <http://news/9598>.
But environmental clearance for the sea route has not yet been granted –
making it increasingly unlikely that the March 2015 deadline will be met.
See the countdown timer
here.<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=764129364d&e=fdc6267ad9>
It has been over two years since the human safaris scandal, exposed by the
British Observer newspaper and Survival <http://news/8001>, sent shockwaves
around the world, yet the safaris still continue. Many of the tourists
passing through the Jarawa reserve along the illegal road are intent on
spotting a member of the tribe – treating them like animals in a zoo.
Time is running out for the Jarawa, who are extremely vulnerable to
exploitation by intruders on their land, as demonstrated by the recent
shocking revelations <http://news/9957> of the kidnapping and sexual
exploitation of Jarawa women by poachers.
The Jarawa’s neighboring tribes, the Great Andamanese, were decimated by
forced settlement and diseases <http://news/5509> introduced by British
colonizers. The Jarawa could face a similar fate if their rights to their
land continue to be violated.

The United Nations, India’s Minister of Tribal Affairs, and Survival have
all condemned the ‘human safaris’, and more than 7,000 supporters have pledged
not to visit the Andaman Islands <http://petitions/boycott-andamans> until
tourists are banned from the road and an alternative route is put in place.
Survival has written to India’s Environment Minister Veerappa Moily, urging
him to approve the alternative sea route as a matter of urgency, and
appealed to the Islands’ Lieutenant Governor A K Singh to ensure the
alternative route is in place by March 2015.
Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said today, ‘The Andaman Islands are now
inextricably linked to this embarrassing saga, and since next to nothing
has been done to provide an alternative route to the road, there’s no sign
of the debate ending soon. It’s a year since the Andamans promised the
Supreme Court to have a sea route put in place by March 2015, but the
pledge is looking increasingly meaningless. The authorities must stick to
their self-imposed deadline. The future is bleak for the Jarawa if not.’

* Papuan activists’ webcast silenced – was Indonesia behind it?*
The Amungme, like other highland Papuan tribes, have faced serious human
rights violations at the hands of Indonesian soldiers.

A speech by two Papuan activists which was being broadcast live on the
internet<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=4d99233fa0&e=fdc6267ad9>mysteriously
went silent when they started to denounce Indonesian human
rights atrocities.
The two were special guests at the Public Interest Environmental Law
Conference<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=55410eb5f7&e=fdc6267ad9>in
Oregon, the world’s most important environmental law conference.
The
Papuans<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=576d4bc944&e=fdc6267ad9>are
members of the Amungme tribe, whose land is home to Grasberg, the
world’s biggest copper and gold mine. They were highlighting the problems
facing the tribe in the face of massive environmental damage and human
rights violations.
Indonesia has occupied Papua (the western half of the island of New Guinea)
since 1963, and more than 100,000 Papuans are believed to have been killed
since then.

In 2010, the website of tribal rights organization Survival international
was attacked and temporarily taken
offline<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=f7a1008df1&e=fdc6267ad9>after
it posted shocking
video<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=6ecdcbc099&e=fdc6267ad9>of

Other organizations who posted the footage were also attacked.
Survival’s Director Stephen Corry, in a separate speech at the
conference<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=9a63d22def&e=fdc6267ad9>,
highlighted the role of ‘conservation’ in the continuing destruction of
tribal peoples, and showed how conservation theories grew with ‘scientific’
racism, which underpinned colonial genocides and the Holocaust.
He also denounced the false claims, promoted by popular science writers Steven
Pinker and Jared Diamond amongst
others<http://survival-international.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b14580b05b832fb959c4ee444&id=37da68dff4&e=fdc6267ad9>,
that tribal and indigenous peoples are ‘like our ancestors’, and ‘more
violent’ than us.
