The Mosher Summit Group has made contributions to the Jungle Keepers organization since 2025 in accordance with our mission to steward the environment and support communities. Jungle Keepers protects the Amazon rainforest through direct land purchase, ranger patrols, and preservation of territory inhabited by the Nomole people—an uncontacted tribe living deep within the forest.
Although many are curious about uncontacted tribes in the Amazon, it is essential to respect their choice to remain isolated. The Nomole people have lived apart from outside contact for over a century in order to preserve culture and avoid the traumatic history their ancestors endured during the rubber boom of the late 1800s. Investigations at the time revealed tens of thousands of Indigenous people enslaved, starved, and tortured.
Respecting isolation is not only about cultural preservation. It is about safety. Contact with the modern world has historically brought devastating disease to isolated populations. After centuries apart, even common illnesses could be catastrophic.
Expanding industries such as logging continue to push closer to protected territory, creating dangerous situations for both Indigenous communities and outsiders. Forced encounters have already occurred as development presses deeper into the rainforest. Jungle Keepers helps prevent this by purchasing and protecting land corridors that preserve distance and safety for everyone involved.
Long-term protection of the Amazon depends on consistent stewardship, trusted local partnerships, and sustained visibility. Protecting intact rainforest supports biodiversity, safeguards Indigenous autonomy, and prevents destructive expansion into one of the most important ecosystems on Earth.
