We like to keep you all aware of the great work of Survival International. Here’s a clip from their website and a link to act: Survival estimates there are 15 uncontacted tribes in Peru. All of them live in the most remote, isolated regions of the Amazon rainforest. All of these peoples face terrible threats – to their land, livelihoods and, ultimately, their lives. If nothing is done, they are likely to disappear entirely. Uncontacted tribes are extremely vulnerable to any form of contact with outsiders because they do not have immunity to Western diseases. International law recognizes the Indians’ land as theirs, just as it recognizes their right to live on it as they want to. That law is not being respected by the Peruvian government or the companies who are invading tribal land.
