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!
