  • While gathering food in a remote stretch of Brazil's Amazon region, members of an uncontacted tribe are reported to have run into gold prospectors. The prospectors allegedly killed 10 of them and, after drinking in a bar, bragged about the gory details. International outrage followed, and an investigation has begun. As well as anger, the incident inevitably rekindles the question of whether uncontacted tribes should be left alone or ushered into the modern world to help protect them. Here, Abraham talks about protecting uncontacted peoples by leaving them alone.
