Members of one of the world’s 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’s Acre state.
‘We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist,’ said uncontacted tribes expert José Carlos dos Reis Meirelles Júnior. Meirelles works for FUNAI, the Brazilian government’s Indian affairs department. ‘This is very important because there are some who doubt their existence.’
Meirelles says that the group’s 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.
‘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,’ said Meirelles.
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.
Survival’s director Stephen Corry said today, ‘These 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.’

Act now to help uncontacted Indians
Please write a letter to Peru’s president asking him to recognise his country’s isolated Indians’ land rights – and by doing so protect uncontacted peoples on both sides of the Peru-Brazil border.
這個部落靠近巴西與秘魯邊界，這些照片是這些部落存在的證據。參與這項遠征的巴西官員表示，因為非法伐木，這些部落面臨越來越大的危險。
Survival International 引述 Jose Carlos Meirelles 的話發表聲明說：「這個區域發生非常違反自然世界、侵害這些部落、動物群的犯罪，也進一步證明，我們這些『文明人』對待這個世界有多不對。」
「國際倖存者」網站（www.survival-international.org）可以見到這些部落的一張照片，內容顯示2名印第安人全身塗滿紅色顏料，作勢要對飛機發射弓箭，另一位印第安人則抬頭仰望。
另一張照片顯示，約15名靠近茅草屋的印第安人，其中部分也準備對飛機發射弓箭。
「國際倖存者」表示，全球有超過100個與世隔絕的部落，其中超過半數位於巴西或祕魯。該組織表示，這些部落都面臨被迫離開故土、被殺或感染新疾病的嚴重威脅。
「國際倖存者」主任柯瑞（Stephen Corry）說：「全球必須開始了解到這個事實，並根據國際法確保他們的領土獲得保障。否則，他們很快就會滅絕。」
最後，大家來個一人一信給祕魯總統吧！要求他承認這些與世隔絕的人的土地權，並給予保護。
