Uncontacted Tribes.

Publicated on : 1212231045
This makes me sad and angry at the same time. You probably heard the news about footage of uncontacted tribes. The reason they made this footage publicly to the world is because uncontacted groups in the region, whose homes have been photographed from the air, are in severe danger from illegal logging in Peru. What 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 "civilised" ones, treat the world.









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.



Over one hundred tribes around the world choose to reject contact with outsiders. They are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. Many of them are living on the run, fleeing invasions of their land by colonists, loggers, oil crews and cattle ranchers. They have often seen their friends and families die at the hands of outsiders, in unreported massacres or epidemics.



This is their story, and a big shame to our so-called "civilised" world.
