These people have no electricity, live in grass houses, catch animals, and have little to contact(联系) with the outside world.Now one of those tribes has contacted with modern society for the first time in 20 years, but it is a bad thing. The isolated(与世隔绝) tribe moved to a small Brazil town near the Upper Envira River because too many trees had been cut down. Cutting down trees and carrying the trees from a protected(受保护的) area drove away the animals that the tribe depended on for food. The tribe had to travel east and ended up far away from home in Brazil.Anthropologists(人类学家) are worried about the tribe since they have come into contact with people that aren't a part of their tribe. In the past, similar tribes who came into contact with the outside world were easily killed by illness like cough and cold because their bodies never met those illnesses, and were not vaccinated against them.Things are looking bad for the other isolated tribes in Peru. The Peruvian government has recently decided on an oil project that would allow three companies to find oil with help from hundreds of workers. The project could kill all the tribes in the rainforest. It means 15 tribes will live in Machu Picchu, only 100 kilometers from the centre of the oil city.21.
