Survival: We Are One: Survival - Aboriginal
Aboriginal children play in Pitjantjatjara, Australia. The loss of their land begun with the British invasion has devasted Aboriginal peoples. They still face racism and violence, have a far higher infant mortality rate and suicide rate and a lower life expectancy than the rest of Australia, and make up a disproportionate section of the prison population. Despite the hurdles, however, some are finally securing ownership titles to their land Photograph: Alastair McNaughton/www.desertimages.com
Survival: We Are One: Survival - Bushmen
The Bushmen of the Kalahari, Namibia. There are 100,000 Bushmen in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Angola. The Bushmen of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve won a landmark court victory against the Botswana government in 2006, after being unlawfully evicted from their desert home Photograph: Brent Stirton/www.brentstirton.com

A fifth of the Yanomami died between 1987 and 1993 after illegal goldminers invaded their land in the Brazilian Amazon, bringing diseases to which the tribe had no immunity. Their land has now been recognised and their decline reversed, but goldminers are once again invading their territory Photograph: Victor Englebert/www.victorenglebert.com
