The Lost Tribes of the Amazon. 2.47 million acres of dense jungle intersected by muddy rivers and creeks and inhabited by jaguars and wild peccaries—and, they believed, several isolated.
In one recent example of their sheer isolation, the last surviving member of one tribe was filmed after more than two decades of living completely alone in the jungle.He is the only survivor of an uncontacted tribe whose six other members were killed by land grabbers and farmers.The uncontacted tribes live in extreme isolation in the forest and are rarely filmed.Over the years their fear of the encroaching world has led to them to develop a fear of contact with outsiders.They often fire their bows and arrows at helicopters or planes that make contact with them.

In this 2011 video frame released by Brazil's National Indian Foundation, an uncontacted indigenous man is seen amid the forest, in Rondonia, Brazil. He appeared to have lived alone in Brazil's Amazon for 22 years.
