(CNN) -- Researchers have produced aerial photos of jungle dwellers who they say are among the few remaining peoples on Earth who have had no contact with the outside world.
Taken from a small airplane, the photos show men outside thatched communal huts, necks craned upward, pointing bows toward the air in a remote corner of the Amazonian rainforest.
The National Indian Foundation, a government agency in Brazil, published the photos Thursday on its Web site. It tracks "uncontacted tribes" -- indigenous groups that are thought to have had no contact with outsiders -- and seeks to protect them from encroachment.
More than 100 uncontacted tribes remain worldwide, and about half live in the remote reaches of the Amazonian rainforest in Peru or Brazil, near the recently photographed tribe, according to Survival International, a nonprofit group that advocates for the rights of indigenous people.
"All are in grave danger of being forced off their land, killed or decimated by new diseases," the organization said Thursday.
Illegal logging in Peru is threatening several uncontacted groups, pushing them over the border with Brazil and toward potential conflicts with about 500 uncontacted Indians living on the Brazilian side, Survival International said.
Its director, Stephen Cory, said the new photographs highlight the need to protect uncontacted people from intrusion by the outside world.
"These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist," Cory said in a statement. "The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct."
The photos released Thursday show men who look strong and healthy, the Brazilian government said. They and their relatives apparently live in six communal shelters known as malocas, according to the government, which has tracked at least four uncontacted groups in the region for the past 20 years.
一群國際探險人員在巴西和秘魯的邊界發現一個與世隔絕的亞馬遜印地安人的部落，並從空中拍下了他們以及他們所在部落的照片。這些珍貴的照片證明，至今仍有遺世獨居的部落。其中一張照片清楚顯示，有兩個身上涂有鮮紅顏料的印地安人手持弓箭對著攝影員，另一人則在一旁看著。另一張照片中則有約15個印地安人和幾個茅屋，當中一些人正準備朝空中的飛機射箭。展開此次探險活動的國際生存組織指出，這些印第安人的未來令人擔憂，因為他們受到非法伐木活動的威脅，被迫越過國界尋找新住所。該組織也呼籲人們，保護原住民的棲居地，否則他們將很快滅亡。全世界共有超過100個與世隔絕的土著部落，其中超過半數居住在巴西或秘魯一帶。
