The Indian government is building a huge megadevelopment on Great Nicobar island, where an uncontacted tribe called the Shompen live.

They're going to cut down huge swathes of rainforest, Survival International are calling it genocidal, and as of February 2026 it's got the green light.

Tbh I'm not keen on the article below mentioning turtles first, then the Shompen, and moving back to plants and animals, but it gives a good overview.

There’s a survival international petition if people are interested- it’s easy to find if you look up the Shompen. Also put an update from June 2026. I hate seeing stuff like this where very few people talk about it or know what’s happening. Obviously it sucks reading the news when the state of the world appears so negative but ignoring things also doesn’t work. Lot of grim shit out there :/

I know there’s heaps of genocides past and present, and this may not be the largest, but it still has the potential to wipe out a culture and kill innocent people. Which you’d really rather avoid.
