The story of a newly discovered uncontacted trib on the Brizal and Peru border will be reported on the news and in news papers. I found the story through MSN.com. There is an organization dedicated to protecting the 100 or more uncontacted tribes in the world. According to the article this tirbe is in danger because the logging in Peru is forcing other uncontaced tribes to move into their territory. To read more about this tribe and the efforts to save all uncontacte tribes go to http://www.survival-international.org/.
Until I saw this article I didn't realize that there were so many tribes that have not had contacted with "civilized" man. As we encroach on their territory we are forcing them to move and there is the risk of exposing them to diseases for which they have no immunity. To put it simply, if we continue destroying the areas where they live we can bring about the extinction of whole tribes.
The Department of Indian Affairs in Brazil made an effort to locate the tribe just so they could prove their existance and take steps to protect them.
