PIPLinks exists to uphold and promote the collective and individual human rights of Indigenous Peoples and other land-based communities. We are committed to upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples to maintain and develop their culture, to live according to their beliefs, and to determine, control and benefit from any use of their lands and resources founded on a belief in the priority, for all human societies, of respect for human rights, including the rights of freedom of thought and belief and the intergenerational care for the earth.

Based in the United Kingdom, PIPLinks was founded in 1992 in response to requests for support from groups in the Cordillera region of the Philippines and is proud to maintain its links with and special focus upon the Philippines. We work in the Philippines, and also in the UK, Ireland, elsewhere in Europe and the international arena, because these are the source of many of the initiatives affecting indigenous communities.

PIPLinks fulfils its mission through providing support for capacity building, research and documentation, advocacy campaigns and linkage to wider support networks.

We offer information and educational support to indigenous organisations on issues including:
Human rights, international processes and experiences on indigenous rights, development aggression in the forms of mining, dams, logging, and displacement and land grabbing by conservation projects, militarisation and others.

PIPLinks is a network of individuals and organisations with a shared interest in supporting the principles of local autonomy, cultural diversity and international solidarity alongside indigenous peoples. We aim to assist in building links and partnerships between indigenous peoples organisations, especially in the Philippines, and the other peoples of the world PIPLinks tries to increase it's effectiveness by cooperating with other groups and building an effective network of linkage.

PIPLinks currently has two full-time staff and a part-time book-keeper, based in an office in London. We work with a small number of volunteers, whose main tasks are managing our resources and research, as well as having a voluntary board made up of made up of experts and partners based both in the UK and the Philippines. If you are interested in volunteering opportunities please contact us. We are incorporated as a limited not-for-profit company. Our main funders are CAFOD, Christian Aid and Trocaire.

We welcome inquiries, comments on this site and invitations to speak. We are always in need of active supporters, donations, volunteers and friends of all kinds.
