For the past few months Cultural Survival has been in merger discussions with a Colorado-based international nonprofit organization called Global Response. We are very pleased to announce that this month Global Response becomes a new program of Cultural Survival.
For almost 20 years Global Response has mounted international letter-writing campaigns on behalf of Indigenous and minority communities whose environments are threatened by resource extraction, imposed development, and other actions. They have succeeded in stopping dams, mines, and logging operations around the world, protecting dozens of communities and ecosystems.
As a program of Cultural Survival, Global Response will continue its work in the same form and in the same Colorado location, but with enhanced capabilities from Cultural Survival's larger staff and resources.
The merger will vastly increase the reach and size of each organization and add expertise and effectiveness to the overall effort to help Indigenous Peoples, while reducing expenses and consolidating efforts. For more information about Global Response, click here.
