BEIJING, June 27 (Xinhuanet) -- A lost tribe has been spotted 1 in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil, according to the media report Monday.
The discovery was confirmed by National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) of Brazil, a government body overseeing indigenous 2 peoples.
The tribe was initially 3 found through satellite images earlier this year and later confirmed by the observers in aerial fight over the area.
There are approximately 200 members in this isolate 4 community who share three straw-roofed buildings and make their living from growing corns, bananas and other crops.
FUNAI does not contact with the new-found tribe or give its exact location in order to protect its life from being disturbed.
"Among the main threats to the well-being 5 of these groups are illegal fishing, hunting, logging, mining, cattle ranching 6 and drug trafficking," FUNAI coordinator 7 Fabricio Amorim warned.
"The work of identifying and protecting isolated 8 groups is part of Brazilian public policy," he said, and "to confirm something like this takes years of methodical work."(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
