Automatic cameras in the Brazilian rainforest have captured the first footage of the Massaco people thriving despite environmental threats. The photos provide the first glimpse of an uncontacted Amazonian community. There are 61 confirmed groups living in the Amazon region and 128 groups that have not yet been confirmed by authorities.
The newly discovered tribe is known as the “Massaco” after the river that runs through their land, but no one knows what they call themselves.
Their language, social structure and beliefs remain a mystery.
