The Jose Carlos Meirelles is working for a government agency that protects isolated indigenous tribes in Brazil. He believes the battle for their protection based on disclosure of their existence, because of illegal miners ' squad of woodcutters and acting under. In this video we see BBC's unique aerial shots of tribes that don't have ever come into contact with our own culture.

     interesting story. I was born and grew up in W.Borneo; I was 7 when WWII started. As my father was Dutch,thus the enemy we had to hide= went (=ran) through the jungle.I remember we ran through, past the headhunters’ huts, sculls hanging as ornaments. They weren’t any danger for us, as they too, were hiding from the enemies. I never had the fears for them, before or during the war.I am pushing 80 now, I ‘ll never forget the whole 4+ yrs =1940-1945.As they came to town often, for supplies, I supposed.If it weren’t for the war, I had a very good happy childhood. West Borneo was a very nice island, born, grew up there, till I was 18. I immigrated to Holland, lived with my Dutch relatives for almost 2 years. Ventured out on my own, met my husband. We immigrated to Canada in 1959, the best country we’ve chosen . The enemies caught my mother and she was decapitated, just one year before WWII ended.
