Imagine being the very last of your people. Your family all gone. Your territory stolen. No-one to talk to.

That was Boa’s fate. Her people, the Aka-Bo, lived on palm-fringed islands in the Andaman Sea. They were once numerous, but when the British colonized the islands, the diseases they brought with them killed huge numbers of the Indigenous population. By 2010, Boa was the last of her tribe.

“All is gone,” she said. “Nothing is left – our jungles, our water, our people, our language.”

One man in the Brazilian Amazon shared the same fate. Cattle ranchers hungry for land had killed all the other members of his people. He was known simply as “The Last of his Tribe,” and lived entirely alone for more than 20 years before his lonely death three years ago.

Act now for uncontacted peoples ([link removed])

Today’s uncontacted Indigenous peoples know all too well that the outside world very often means death, whether by disease or through violent attack. But they’re determined to defend their territories, even in the face of the industrialized world’s relentless drive to exploit every corner of the Earth.

Our new report “Uncontacted Indigenous Peoples: at the edge of survival” reveals that 96 percent of such peoples are threatened by profit-driven industries like logging, mining and cattle ranching.

Almost half of them could be wiped out within ten years unless governments and companies take action.

That’s why today we’re launching a major new campaign that will pressure the companies and decision-makers whose actions are putting uncontacted Indigenous peoples at risk.
