Another Brazilian tribe is said to be in danger due to encroachment on its territory by loggers.

The Jururei Tribe is believed to have as few as 8 members. The government considers them "uncontacted" because they have not been studied or approached.

The Jururei live in an area that was opened for logging by a judge. Another tribe in the same area has been fleeing its villages.
