Brazil's Fundação Nacional do Indio (National Indian Foundation) has published aerial photos of a new "uncontacted" tribe found in a remote area of the Amazon near the border with Peru (FUNAI - in Portuguese).
"These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist," said a statement. "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."
We should do everything possible to protect these people and their way of life, although unfortunately I do not have high hopes for their survival now that they've been discovered.
