The United Nations declared the decade 1995 – 2004 as the International Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. 

One of the objectives of this decade was to find solutions to the problems faced by indigenous peoples in areas such as human rights, the environment, development, health, culture and education. 

While the recognition of these rights is a major advance for indigenous peoples, this recognition needs to be accompanied by action, on the ground, towards realizing those rights by providing opportunities for sustainable growth and development. 

The Endangered Peoples Trust was established to take positive steps to halt the slide to extinction of the most ancient of these cultures. 

These are the hunter gatherers of Southern Africa.

These are the San, also known as the Bushmen, people of the later Stone Age, whose genetic origins can be traced back to the beginning of modern humanity. 

Follow the journey of these embattled people and perhaps you can assist and help Save Our San.
