Tribe discovered on Brazil-Peru border

Paul Allen reports on one of the world's last remaining lost tribes.

Brazil's government has released pictures of a previously unseen community of people living in the Amazonian rainforest.

It is believed they have never had previous contact with the outside world.

They were located on the remote border between Brazil and Peru.

The footage was taken from the air by Funai, a Brazilian government foundation, dedicated to the protection of indigenous tribes.

Funai has a policy to not contact tribes similar to this one, and instead try to prevent invasions of their land so they remain autonomous.

But the agency warns the tribe, and others like it believed to be living in the Amazon, that they are at risk from illegal logging.
