This map won’t help anyone make ‘first contact’.

But it will help to stop oil companies and loggers from invading the lands of uncontacted tribes.

This map shows the territories of uncontacted tribes around the world. The territories are typically thousands of square kilometres in size, and the locations are deliberately approximate. No one should go to tribes which aren’t in regular contact with outsiders. It’s dangerous for everyone. We only publicize their rough location because this helps to protect the tribes and their lands.
