Isolated Amazon Indians Die of Swine Flu

Yanomami Indians

The Yanomami are the largest relatively isolated tribe in the Amazon rainforest, with a population of about 32,000 that straddle the Venezuela-Brazil border. Due to this isolation they have very little resistance to introduced diseases such as flu.

Act now to help the Yanomami!

    Terrible! Hey Eric I just wanted to let you know that my website changed from http://green-entrepreneur.com to http://wecansavetheamazon.com If you could change that in your links that would be awesome. Seriously Eric look at my website and the Amazon Herb Company a little more - we've been named the answer to saving the rainforest by the Cousteau Society and we need all the help we can get in spreading the word. My site is a team site to help you spread the word! The only way to save the rainforest is to make it into a living and sustainable commodity.

    Hey Jonathan!
    Thanks for the heads up. I updated the link so it has the correct address. I agree with you and I will do my part to help spread the word. Best regards.
