She had worked despite being ill, reportedly because of the company's strict sick leave policy.

Survival’s research concludes that half of these groups “could be wiped out within 10 years if governments and companies do not act.” Advocates urge governments to enforce (執行) land rights, ban extractive (提取的) projects in their territories and adopt a global “no-contact” policy, stressing that their survival is vital for both human rights and climate stability.
