New film footage released today shows uncontacted Indians on the Brazil-Peru border in never-seen-before detail. It is the first-ever aerial footage of an uncontacted community.
Ms Anderson said today, ‘What comes across very powerfully from this amazing footage is how healthy and confident these people appear. I hope they can be left alone – but that will only happen if the loggers are stopped.’
The footage was filmed by the BBC in collaboration with the Brazilian government, for the new BBC 1 ‘Human Planet’ series. The Brazilian government has authorized Survival to use the footage as part of its campaign.
The Indians’ survival is in jeopardy as an influx of illegal loggers invades the Peru side of the border. Brazilian authorities believe the influx of loggers is pushing isolated Indians from Peru into Brazil, and the two groups are likely to come into conflict.
Survival Director Stephen Corry said today, ‘The very dangerous future for uncontacted tribal peoples should be of worldwide concern. Gillian Anderson’s help here will draw more attention to it – vital if the world is finally going to call a real halt to the centuries of destruction.’
Uncontacted tribes are peoples who have no peaceful contact with anyone in the mainstream or dominant society. There are about 100 such tribes in the world.New film footage released today shows uncontacted Indians on the Brazil-Peru border in... more

An isolated tribe living in the Amazon rainforest on the Brazil-Peru border has been filmed for the first time.
Jose Carlos Meirelles, of Funai, said his government agency needs proof of the existence of "uncontacted" Indian communities in Brazil due to the threat posed by illegal logging and mining. They are known as "uncontacted" because they have only limited dealings with the outside world.
The BBC was allowed to film from 1km away using a stabilised zoom lens. More photographs of the tribe can be found here.
Human Planet was broadcast on Thursday 3 February at 2000 GMT on BBC One, and will also be available on the BBC iPlayer.
