Influencers Threaten Survival of Uncontacted Tribes, Warns Survival International

Survival International warns that social media influencers threaten the existence of uncontacted tribes in Brazil, with half of these indigenous peoples potentially wiped out in the next decade.

Survival International reported that uncontacted peoples in Brazil are at increased risk due to the influence of social media content creators promoting harmful behaviors.
The organization highlighted that ongoing mining activities and missionary interventions exacerbate the precarious situation for these indigenous peoples in South America.
Survival International emphasized that without immediate action, up to 50% of uncontacted tribes could face extinction within the next ten years, jeopardizing their cultures and lands.
