There are a number of uncontacted Indigenous tribes living in the Amazon rainforest, who have had little or no contact with the outside world. These tribes are often referred to as “uncontacted” because they have chosen to remain isolated from modern society, and have had little or no interaction with outsiders. Here are a few facts about these tribes:
- There are estimated to be around 100 uncontacted tribes in the world, with a significant number of them living in the Amazon rainforest.
- These tribes are among the most vulnerable and marginalized groups in the world, as they have no immunity to many of the diseases that are common in the modern world.
- Uncontacted tribes often face threats from outsiders, including loggers, miners, and farmers, who can destroy their land and way of life.
- Uncontacted tribes are often depicted in the media as living in a “primitive” state, but in reality, they have complex societies and cultures, and have developed sophisticated ways of living in harmony with the environment.
- The rights of uncontacted tribes are protected under international law, and governments have a responsibility to respect their right to remain isolated and to protect their lands.
