Stephen Corry (born 1951) is a British indigenous rights activist, best known for being the former CEO of Survival International.
[2] In 1972, he founded together with Robin Hanbury-Tenison the organisation Survival International.
[1][2] Influenced by his travels, and authors such as Jiddu Krishnamurti, he quit the University of Paris, Jussieu, and volunteered.
After becoming a member, Corry sought to go to Brazil to study the indigenous people there, but was asked to stay in London and do research.
[3][4] He had started his work with Survival with the ambitious intention of compiling a World Red Book of Threatened Peoples – parallel to the IUCN's "Red Book of Threatened Species", an idea which was proposed to him by Robin Hanbury-Tenison, while discussing his future role in Survival International.
