Many of the territories of Peru’s uncontacted tribes, which include the Mashco-Piro, pictured, are still unprotected.

Dear Jack,

We’re delighted to invite you to a special event today – the chance to learn about the world’s uncontacted tribes, from Survival staff deeply involved in the campaign for their rights.

Online talk and Q&A:

9.30am Los Angeles
12.30pm New York
5.30pm London

Most uncontacted tribes live in the Amazon – where their numbers range from hundreds to just one survivor.

But they are actually found across the world – from the Chaco forest of Paraguay (where almost all their forest has been bulldozed to destruction) to Indonesia, and even on a tiny island in the Indian Ocean.

Today’s your chance to learn more, from some of the world’s foremost experts on the subject. Survival campaigners Sarah Shenker, Teresa Mayo and Sophie Grig will be live later today – they’ll talk about uncontacted tribes around the world, and what needs to be done to ensure their survival, and they’ll be answering your questions too.

P.S. In Peru, several uncontacted tribes’ territories are still unprotected, even though the government has been promising to legally recognize them for years. While they delay, oil and gas companies, and loggers, are already destroying the precious resources these areas contain. The current high price of oil means these territories are under greater pressure than ever before.

Please take action to stand with Peru’s uncontacted tribes.
