PEOPLE OF THE RAINFOREST

Uncontacted tribes in the rainforest are at risk because:

• Illegal loggers and miners are chopping down the trees, stealing land and making them move for the first time.

• Eventually the loggers and miners will become so greedy that they will kill them.

• Not everyone believes that they exist in the first place.

• They could be open to viruses and diseases which would kill them.

We can help and protect them by:

• Making governments stop illegal logging and mining.

• Protecting the rainforest and its plants and animals.

• Letting the tribes decide whether they want to make contact with the outside world.
