http://www.bbc.co.uk/humanplanet New footage of one of the world's last uncontacted tribes living in the Brazilian rainforest.

Jose Carlos Meirelles works for FUNAI, a government agency that protects Brazil's indigenous people. Because of the threat posed by illegal logging and mining, he believes that the fight to protect these people depends on proving and publicising their existence. This aerial footage was shot from 1km away using a stabilised zoom lens.

Brazil is thought to be home to around 70 isolated tribes.

  • @thegoodlocust 100-200 yrs ago, it was the european settlers fucking up the flora&fauna, not the indigenous people. as i said before, humans can use power derived from technological advancement responsibly or not. now we are starting to know the importance of using it responsibly when it comes to the environment. most tribal societies know the importance of respecting their environment. who's causing all the pollution now? tribes? or urban populations?

  • iv always wished i was born into a tribe. i love nature, and the outdoors. sometimes it seems as though i would fit in better in a tribe than in modern times. make sure these people remain free to do as they will.

  • Those people are free. I am a slave to the system.
