Survival is an international organization working for tribal people’s rights through education, advocacy and campaigns. They also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. The website’s Tribal Channel streams a number of short films and video clips on tribes from around the world and their struggles for survival. Following controversy over the authenticity of footage contained in the television series Mark & Olly: Living with the Machigenga, in 2011 Survival International published a code of practice for filmmakers working with tribal peoples. The guidelines laid out in Ethical practice when filming tribal peoples aim to prevent further misrepresentations and potentially damaging portrayals of tribes. The code covers the importance of respect, safety, fair editing and truth and accuracy.

Based at the University of Hamburg in Germany, this site is subtitled "Unwrapping a Mummy by Mouse Click " and it aims to do just that. The mummy is that of a 30-year old woman from about 2300 years ago, and we are shown how the body was first scanned in to the computer, then reconstructed using CGI. The final results, which require QuickTime to view, allow the user to look at the different parts of the skull in six different ways. These include x-rays of the head and teeth, a 360 degree rotation of the skull as well as the mummy’s head being unwrapped layer by later. The site is available in both English and German language versions.
