Indigenous man is believed to be last member of tribe killed by farmers in 1995
He was captured felling a tree half-naked in the Amazonian state of Rondonia
'Indigenous man in the hole' thought to have lived alone there for past 22 years

Captivating footage has emerged of the last known survivor of an Amazonian tribe murdered by farmers over two decades ago.

Known as 'the indigenous man in the hole', the tribesman has been captured on video by Government officials in the Brazilian state of Rondonia.

He is seen half naked attempting to fell a tree and is thought to have his own papaya and corn plantations that surround his homemade hut made of trees.

Experts first discovered him in the jungle in 1996 and his face was only filmed for the first time in 1998.

They think he has lived alone there for 22 years. Aged in his 50s, he spends most of his time hunting forest pigs, birds and monkeys with a bow and arrow, reports The Guardian.

Farmers and land grabbers are believed to have murdered the other five members of his tribe in an attack in 1995.

They killed and expelled indigenous Amazonians throughout the 1970s and 1980s, but he managed to survive, according to indigenous Government agency Funai.

Funai has a strict policy of leaving isolated groups in the region alone, but they have monitored his activity from a distance since he was first spotted in 1996.

They do not know his name or the name of his tribe, but have worked to extend the area of his jungle home to 8,070 hectares so he can maintain his lifestyle.

Traditional weapons like axes and machetes have been left by Funai workers for him to find, but they never allow themselves to be seen by him.

Fiona Watson, of research group Survival International, told The Guardian the video clip of the man is 'extraordinary' given his land is surrounded by ranches on all sides.

She said: 'Funai has a duty to show that he is well and alive. The crucial thing is Funai has managed to keep his territory.'

'The fact he is still alive gives you hope. He is the ultimate symbol, if you like.'

Funai, who works to protect the rights of indigenous people and isolated groups, claims there are 113 uncontacted tribes in the Brazilian Amazon, 27 of which they have confirmed sightings of.

Going back to the Days of the British Empire

Today Brazil
is cutting away the important rain forest
effecting World Weather Patterns.
Many factories in Brazil are owned by America.
