What’s happening to people in our rainforests?
By Teresa Figone
An uncontacted tribe is an unknown tribe. In other words, an uncontacted tribe is a tribe that nobody knows about. But things are making these tribes disappear…

Firstly, the tribes are disappearing because of logging. The logging is illegal, so conservationists are trying their hardest to protect the tribes.
Viruses could also be extremely dangerous to them. For example the common cold could kill them because their bodies aren’t used to fighting it off, so they could die. This is why some conservationists, if they have special permission to, it happens very rarely, film them from a kilometre away, in case they have any kind of virus.
Thank you for reading!
Well done Teresa. This is a well written and organised blog. You have shown an understanding of the threats that these tribes face.
