Seven nomadic Nukak – one woman and six children – have been wounded by a grenade blast in south-east Colombia. The Nukak are isolated hunter-gatherers and had been gathering fruits near an army base when they apparently picked up a grenade.
Act now to help the Nukak
Campaigning for the Nukak’s rights has already made a huge difference. After campaigns led by Survival and local indigenous organisations, the Colombian government created a Nukak reserve in 1993 and enlarged it in 1997.
What the Nukak want now is for the boundaries of their reserve to be respected and for them to be able to live there in peace.
Please write to the Colombian government to urge them to ensure the Nukak can return to their land.
