Hit reply — I’d love to hear your take.

🧠 Insight

'Uncontacted Amazon tribes face imminent threats, with warnings from indigenous leaders and organizations like Survival International suggesting many could be wiped out within a decade due to illegal logging, mining, land invasions, and diseases, as they lack immunity to common illnesses. Their survival depends entirely on effective territorial protection and halting these external pressures, as even a single encounter can bring devastating epidemics, but without intervention, their future is extremely precarious.' But what we as the outsiders could even do to help them? Stop the loggers from chopping the forest down? We can, but there's the risk of accidentally being misunderstood for a logger and then getting killed by an arrow from these people. But if you then go to introduce yourself to them, you could bring some sort of a new disease to them that could wipe them out.
