Brazil, February 1, 2011.- A tribe in the Amazon was discovered by photographs and it is believed that its members never had contact with modern civilization.

The images were taken by the Department of Indian Affairs of Brazil and published by the NGO Survival International. It is a totally isolated tribe in the world and the images show five people of different ages, with apparent good health and noting the plane from where they were photographed.

According to experts, images will be used to promote a campaign to preserve their habitat. These indigenous people see their environment threatened by loggers’ activity on the border between Peru and Brazil.
