If we isolate and protect uncontacted tribes, are we neglecting them?

This is the focus of this short film from Survival International which shows the predicament of Brazil’s isolated Zo’é tribe

 

After a devastating first contact in the 1980s, the Zo’é have bounced back. Today there are only about 250 left and the Brazilian government has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect them from disease, but do the Zo’é now live in a bubble, separate from the rest of society? Can this be considered as neglect?

Survival International researcher Fiona Watson travels to meet these amazing people.
