BEIJING, June 27 (Xinhuanet) -- A lost tribe has been spotted1 in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil, according to the media report Monday.
The discovery was confirmed by National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) of Brazil, a government body overseeing
indigenous2 peoples.
The tribe was
initially3 found through satellite images earlier this year and later confirmed by the observers in aerial fight over the area.
There are approximately 200 members in this
isolate4 community who share three straw-roofed buildings and make their living from growing corns, bananas and other crops.
FUNAI does not contact with the new-found tribe or give its exact location in order to protect its life from being disturbed.
"Among the main threats to the
well-being5 of these groups are illegal fishing, hunting, logging, mining, cattle
ranching6 and drug trafficking," FUNAI
coordinator7 Fabricio Amorim warned.
"The work of identifying and protecting
isolated8 groups is part of Brazilian public policy," he said, and "to confirm something like this takes years of methodical work."
