“In our interconnected world it's hard to believe the existence of uncontacted tribes, but yes: they do exist”. That's how powerful Sarah Shenker's talk starts. She's witness of the NGO Survival in the areas where the last uncontacted indigenous of the world survive. “Leave the uncontacted tribes”. This is Sara's statement after having seen the fatal effects that she saw among the yanomamis after a confrontation with the police.
Survival has become the loudspeaker of many indigenous groups since the rainforests of the Amazon to the dusty planes of El Chaco (Paraguay), going through the paradisiac Adamán Islands (India) until Papúa. This organization, created in London in 1969, has become the prolocutor of the indigenous revindications.

The last uncontacted tribes aren't a dead way for the development of the 'developed' world.
