Abstract
- The authors reflect on protection of isolated societies in South America. They state government policies of Brazil and Peru, along with support by the United Nations, is to leave isolated societies alone and comments on problems with this strategy due to intermittent interaction with the outside world introducing diseases to the tribes. They recommend controlled contact with isolated tribes and the importance of sustained around-the-clock medical treatment and food.
