The area where a 100-person uncontacted tribe in the Amazon lives is at risk of being extinguished by illegal gold miners. Tribal advocacy group, Survival International, said that the area is in danger from miners who have brought diseases like malaria to the region. Also, mercury which is used for gold mining pollutes food and water sources of the tribe, and is causing villagers to face serious health crisis.
