its FACT that when these tribes are found they looses 75% + of their tribe due to 'white mans deiseises'
There is no doubt some succumb to our diseases but you should know that you can't make a statement like this without proof around here...LOL...got a link to prove your fact?
I'm interested in the source of that 75% as well. I just tried Google, and all I can find are other people stating that disease is a threat, but no solid facts, certainly none with a 75% figure. By no means do I believe that there is no risk of disease, I'm just very cautious of what statistical data I accept as truth. I plan to share this link on another forum, and would like to mention the risk as well, but want to be sure not to spread misinformation.
this article states 50 % but isnt the one i saw
Contact is usually a disaster for these remote tribespeople, who live a life probably unchanged for more than 10,000 years. Even if the loggers do not shoot them (which they often do) or force them off their land, diseases against which these isolated humans have no resistance typically wipe out half an uncontacted tribe's numbers in a year or two.
the aricle i saw that started 75% was on the same subject but was in a newspaper about 6 months ago , it was about how the local govmnts are moving the stated boundries to allow further logging

You can't really attach a generic statistic to something like that. Too unpredictable.
Especially considering that a lot of those numbers would probably come from a time when people not only didn't care if the natives were wiped out, but often actively tried to make them disappear.
