David Hill is a researcher and campaigner for Survival International, the
international movement supporting tribal peoples worldwide. Last year he
travelled to the Peruvian Amazon and spent months researching some of the
world's last remaining uncontacted tribes. Peru is home to an estimated 15
of these tribes and all of them are facing extinction as oil companies and
illegal loggers move in on the natural resources of their habitat. Isolated
Indians are especially vulnerable to any contact because they have no
immunity to outsiders' diseases.
