Report: Uncontacted Tribes at Survival Brink

Uncontacted Indigenous tribes are “at the edge of survival,” a new Survival International report warns, citing surging intrusions by miners, missionaries, criminal gangs and influencers that spread disease and destroy forests. At least 196 groups remain—124 in Brazil—with about half at risk of vanishing within a decade. The charity says 96% face threats from extractive industries and 38 face annihilation from roads and railways. On Indonesia’s Halmahera, nickel mining menaces the Hongana Manyawa. Survival urges a global no-contact policy and supply chains free of materials from their lands, calling on governments and industry to halt “continuing colonization.”
