Paul Allen reports on one of the world's last remaining uncontacted tribes.

Brazil's government has released pictures of a previously unseen community of people living in the Amazonian rainforest.

It is believed they have never had previous contact with the outside world.

They were located on the border between Brazil and Peru.

The footage was taken from the air by Funai, a Brazilian government foundation, dedicated to the protection of indigenous tribes.

Funai has a policy to not contact tribes similar to this one, and instead try to prevent invasions of their land so they remain autonomous.

But the agency warns the tribe, and others like it believed to be living in the Amazon, that they are at risk from illegal logging.

    These alternative fuels often cause more CO2 output than fossil fuels, because of land use.

    I am not saying that Brazil is worse than other countries, but I do think that Brazil is not an environmental friendly country.

  • Your country is ...

    Your country is also creating dams which destroys rainforest and releases a lot of CO2,has the largest rates of deforestation in the world, making it one of the largest emitters of CO2. Brazil has good environmental rules, only too bad nobody sticks to the rules. If someone gets a fine, often the one who get it doesn't pays it. And by the way, these alternative fuels are destroying the planet, not preventing it.

  • We are withdrawing ...

    We are withdrawing gas from garbage to generate electricity and reduce pollution!
    And what the rest of the world is doing to respect the protocol?
    Nothing!
    The Americans who speak both in preserving or at least signed the protocol!
    Brazil is the country most in the correct environmental issue in the world!
    If another country was not going to be a whole tree!

  • Do you think the ...

    Do you think the Brazileiros are wild and live in the midst of forests!
    Try to know the Brazil!
    We are developing alternative fuels so we can stop the destruction of the planet!

  • Americans think ...

    Americans think that the capital of Brazil is Buenos Aires!
    We fight against deforestation, but we do not want people from other countries here!
    The resources of our forest have been stolen by many countries!
    One of these resources has been patented by Americans as captopril which is used in hypertension and heart failure!

  • What you do not ...

    What you do not know is that the Amazon rainforest is absurdly giant!
    She is seven times bigger than France and corresponds to 32 Western European countries
    You Americans and Europeans together with a large portion of the world do not know Brazil and the Brazilians!

  • The AlJazeera only ...

    The AlJazeera only come to Brazil to show the worst thing of my country!
    I have never seen an issue that showed the other side of the coin!
    Brazil was the country that most kept their forests until today!
    Most European countries and North American annihilated their forests!

    Simbioses does nothing for the soul. Better a missionary than a Coke bottle dropped to them. Google 'the gods must be crazy'.

  • If someone attempts ...

    If someone attempts to go over there to tell them the ''good news'', i would pray to the invisible unicorn that they get their heads chopped off. A religion that is about conquering and subduing the earth does not work for a people that lives in a close symbiosis with a forest.

  • if anyone exploits ...

    if anyone exploits them it will be brazilizns or peru. but they do need some missionaries. All men need to be told the Good News. They shouldnt be left totally alone because we would simply be treating them as a museum exhibit. We humans are too curious to leave them alone.Sad but true.
