Very powerfull in Brazil

Language
The language seems slightly biased in this article towards the work that Survival do. Not inacurate, but it comes across like it was written by a Survival employee trying to write a neutral article. 109.176.223.213 (talk) 19:40, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Just for the record: It was not. Perhaps the subject of charity organizations attract charity speeches and the need for a social cause. But you are right. This is an encyclopedic article. Feel free to make any necessary change you feel it needs. Maziotis (talk) 12:46, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Controversies
I have just deleted the ridiculous "controversy" section from the article. There is plenty of controversy in the "Media" section. Policy dictates we should write with due weight. Writing singular episodes, with one-sided point of view on the articles' subject is not "Neutral Point of view". It is ridiculous to claim an attempt to "look at both sides", especially when it consists of interest parties trying to taint the organization. Also, it makes no sense at all to dedicate a whole section to this, at this point. See policy. I don't see how we can have a "controversy" section until we have enough real controversy about this otherwise widely respected organization. Please feel free to re-write the "Media section".

NPOV
This article reads like a press release. It seems to be largely drawn from the organisation's website. Certain sections, for example, describing the organisation's assessment of the problem, are irrelevant to an article about an organisation.

There ought at least to be a Criticism section, although I agree that have a 'controversies' section would not be NPOV. Martin Turner (talk) 08:28, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Primitive People's Fund
It appears that this page may have been sanitized. All reference to Survival International's former name, 'The Primitive People's Fund', has been erased. Presently, the only reference to the word primitive in the article is a statement that Survival is opposed to those who see tribal people as 'primitive'. I was trying to find out about this history here, but the page does not describe the history of when or how the name change happened. Please include this information. 18:57, 21 April 2016 (UTC) R.E.D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.68.133.226 (talk)
 * No conspiracy, but an interesting fact, thank you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
