This story about the isolated tribes in the Brazilian rain forest is fascinating…and sad, considering their territory is being threatened by over logging and illegal logging.
According to the AP story I was reading, Brazil’s National Indian Foundation thinks there are 68 “uncontacted” groups around Brazil. Only about two dozen have been confirmed.
The photo (which shows tribe members painted red and shooting arrows at a plane) was released by anthropologists and Brazilian officials worried about the tribe, which could easily be wiped out by simple exposure to the cold & flu.
