Save Brazil's most threatened tribe! Picture: Survival international Survival International (RLA 1989) and actor Colin Firth launched a campaign to protect the Awá tribe from illegal loggers who are taking their land and threatening their lives. An amazing film clip shows the Awá's life today. Really impressive!   Disarmament for Sustainable Development "The Millennium Development Goals cannot be realized while the world squanders its wealth on militarism." About 40 of our Laureates and Board members signed an appeal demanding governments to agree on a global plan for disarmament at the upcoming Rio+20 conference. Cutting military spending would free up funds that could be used for social, economic and ecological programs instead.   Land grabbing in focus "Land grabbing" - What is it, why is it happening, and what are the effects? On June 14, there will be both a seminar at the Swedish Parliament and an open meeting in Stockholm discussing these questions. During the seminar, a new report on land grabbing will be presented by LUCSUS, the Right Livelihood College Campus in Lund. (It will be available on our homepage afterwards.) Information about our events and links to relevant websites and reports on land grabbing are collected on our homepage.   Workshop and photo exhibition in Bonn In June, Zafrullah Chowdhury (RLA 1992), Nnimmo Bassey (RLA 2010) and Anwar Fazal (RLA 1982) will attend a workshop on "Mobilization for Change: Social Movements in a Developing World" organized by the Center for Development Research, the Right Livelihood College Campus in Bonn, Germany, and supported by the DAAD. At the same time, a photo exhibition portraying some 40 of our Laureates will be launched in Bonn. "Back seat heroes" is hosted by Rheinisches Landesmuseum. The exhibition will be open between June 6 and July 8, 2012.   What we do - in film What is the Right Livelihood Award? What do we do, what do we stand for, how do we select our laureates and who are some of the people behind the scenes? Three brand new short films put the Right Livelihood Award Foundation in pictures and illustrate the different aspects of our work. Have a look!
