Survival

The Ayoreo-Totobiegosode of western Paraguay are the last uncontacted Indians south of the Amazon basin. They are now being hemmed in from all sides by ranchers, colonists and loggers. With their last refuge gradually being overrun, they have nowhere left to hide. Unless the government fulfils its constitutional obligations to title the land to the Indians quickly, their territory will be invaded and logged, and there is likely to be a violent and disastrous encounter.
