South American Yanomami tribes at risk of destruction from illegal gold miners

This particular community is at risk of being destroyed by gold miners who are working illegally in their territory. When the indigenous people come in contact with miners, they are affected by diseases they have never been affected with previously and this means that they are at risk of death. Beyond the disease, there is violence and harassment and environmental destruction that put these indigenous tribes at risk. There is little government intervention to protect them, according to campaigners.
