Controversy
While the tribe was originally billed as "unknown", further investigation revealed that the tribe was first identified in 1910. Researchers had been assessing the tribe's territory for quite some time before the photographs were taken.Survival International
The photos were taken to prove that "lost tribes" do exist. The found community is located in a remote area of the rainforest known as Terra Indigena Kampa e Isolados do Envira.Survival International, a group that supports tribal people, said the tribe's territory needs to be protected by international law or they will become extinct. Such tribes are in danger of losing their land due to illegal logging in Peru and the threat of disease.
