There are many communities of people on the planet who prefer to stay away from the rest of the world. These groups do not seek to attract the attention of modern society and avoid close contact with it. This is why such isolated tribes live in the dense forests of the Amazon or on secluded islands in the sea.
The way of life of these indigenous inhabitants spans over ten thousand years. They provide themselves with food by gathering roots, fruits, and berries from the forest, as well as hunting animals. Some of them also engage in small-scale agriculture and animal husbandry, setting up villages among the dense forests.
Among these secluded tribes are the Tagheri and Taromenane. These peoples do not come into contact with modern people and do not allow them to approach. The Tagheri and Taromenane live in the Amazon region of Ecuador. To ensure their safety, the local government has declared this entire forest area a protected zone, which is part of the Yasuni National Park.
These nomadic Tagheri and Taromenane live in isolation, having no contact with the outside world. These two communities are officially recognized in Ecuador. Although the existence of other communities is assumed, the Tagheri and Taromenane remain isolated.
The Tagheri are part of the Huaorani community, which lives in the Amazon basin of Ecuador, in the Yasuni National Park. This community is named after its founder, Tage. In 1968, Tage and other people refused to accept the presence of missionaries in their native lands. After this, their groups separated from their original Huaorani community and have voluntarily lived in seclusion in the dense forests ever since, without contact with other members of the Huaorani.
Over the years, there have been instances of intertribal violence. Estimates suggest there are only about 20–30 Tagheri left, although this figure is not accurate because they are inaccessible, making counting impossible.
The Taromenane live between the Napo and Curare rivers in the provinces of Pastaza and Orellana, Ecuador. This area is also under the jurisdiction of Yasuni National Park. It is assumed that this group is a distant relative of the Huaorani people. It is estimated that between 150 and 300 Taromenane still live in the tropical forests of Yasuni National Park, leading a nomadic lifestyle.
These tribes are similar to the Sentinelese living on the Andaman Islands, with whom contact is extremely dangerous. Similarly, contact with the Tagheri and Taromenane is also risky. These peoples have always shown aggression towards the intrusion of outsiders into their territory.
