Members of one of the world\u2019s last uncontacted tribes have been spotted and photographed from the air near the Brazil-Peru border. The photos were taken during several flights over one of the remotest parts of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil\u2019s Acre state. <\/p>\n

\u2018We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist,\u2019 said uncontacted tribes expert Jos\u00e9 Carlos dos Reis Meirelles J\u00fanior. Meirelles works for FUNAI, the Brazilian government\u2019s Indian affairs department. \u2018This is very important because there are some who doubt their existence.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meirelles says that the group\u2019s numbers are increasing. But other uncontacted groups in the region, whose homes have been photographed from the air, are in severe danger from illegal logging in Peru. Logging is driving uncontacted tribes over the border and could lead to conflict with the estimated five hundred uncontacted Indians already living on the Brazilian side.<\/p>\n

\u2018What is happening in this region [of Peru] is a monumental crime against the natural world, the tribes, the fauna and is further testimony to the complete irrationality with which we, the \u2018civilised\u2019 ones, treat the world,\u2019 said Meirelles.<\/p>\n

There are more than one hundred uncontacted tribes worldwide, with more than half living in either Brazil or Peru. All are in grave danger of being forced off their land, killed and decimated by new diseases. Survival has launched an urgent campaign to get their land protected, and a unique film narrated by actress Julie Christie.<\/p>\n

Survival\u2019s director Stephen Corry said today, \u2018These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist. The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct.\u2019<\/p>\n

Act now to help uncontacted Indians<\/h2>\n

Please write a letter to Peru\u2019s president<\/a> asking him to recognise his country\u2019s isolated Indians\u2019 land rights \u2013 and by doing so protect uncontacted peoples on both sides of the Peru-Brazil border.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
