Who are the least-contacted people on Earth?

"Uncontacted" and "isolated" peoples live in roughly 10 countries around the world, including one group that erases their footprints so they cannot easily be found.

The top 3

  1. Brazil Leads in Uncontacted Groups: Brazil is home to the highest number of uncontacted Indigenous peoples globally, with estimates suggesting at least 100 to 124 groups primarily within its Amazon rainforest.
  2. Peru: Second Highest Number of Tribes: Peru ranks second with an estimated 15 to 20 uncontacted Indigenous tribes, primarily residing in the remote Amazon rainforest regions east of the Andes.
  3. Other Isolated Pockets Globally: Beyond the Amazon, uncontacted groups exist in other remote areas, including a few tribes in West Papua, Indonesia, and the Sentinelese in India's Andaman Islands.
