BRAZIL - Rare footage of indigenous Brazilian Kawahiva tribe 'on the edge of extintion



Despite winning a campaign to get Brazil to declare a protected area for the Kawahiva tribe - one of the last uncontacted indigenous peoples in the Amazon Forest - campaigners say there is no time to rest on their laurels. 
The Kawahiva are a group of hunter-gatherers said to be on the edge of extinction. They are forced to live on the run, fleeing violence from outsiders. Attacks and disease have killed relatives. And loggers are getting closer.
