In 2008 , photographs of anuncontacted indigenous tribein a remote region of the Amazon rain forest provided unequivocal proof that , even in the hyper - connect modern globe , there remain small community of peopleliving in complete isolation from what we call civilization . Now , Modern double of what experts believe to be the same group have revealed further detail about their civilisation and way of life .
Brazilian photographer Ricardo Stuckert get the images from a helicopter while on a inquiry misstep in the state of Acre , situate in westerly Brazil , close to the border with Peru .

José Carlos Meirelles , who is also taking part in the research , told National Geographic that although the tribe was spotted in a different emplacement to that photographed in 2008 , it is likely to be the same radical of mass , adding that they appear to be semi - nomadic , moving every four years or so .
The picture show a traditional thatch menage make out as a maloca , as well as some of the group ’s weaponry , with one penis of the folk threaten the helicopter with a curtain call and pointer .
According to Stuckert , the extremity of the tribe were “ more speculative than fearful , ” and “ there was a reciprocal curiosity ” between the lensman and his field of study .

However , despite the apparent good health of the tribe – which Meirelles reckon to include about 300 member scattered among various nearby settlements – anthropologists are occupy thatillegal miners and loggerscould presently encroach on their territory .
late instances of contact between westerner and tribespeople have had black consequences , with the indigenous steward of the Amazon timber always coming off worse . Outbreaks of diseases to which these people have no unsusceptibility , as well as violent clash , havewiped out entire tribesin the yesteryear , lead to fears that history could repeat itself .
The show kin are living in a protected territorial dominion , where arduous penalties are inflict on unauthorised invader . Yet across the border in Peru , the office is not policed quite as expeditiously , and illegal activity are rife in many indigenous homelands . As the space between the tribe and these unwished-for intruders decreases , the peril of extinction becomes ever more acute .
