Protected areas: Protecting the territories of indigenous tribes also turns out to be an efficient way of protecting the rainforest.

Family life: The Awá in Brazil live in extended family groups — several hundred of them in contact but a larger number still uncontacted. Like many Amazonian Indians, Awá carry young babies in slings, traditionally made from palm fibres, but nowadays from cloth. (Photo: © Domenico Pugliese/Survival International.)
