Do these people need our 20th century?

Article Abstract:

There are many ethical problems associated with seeking to make contact with tribes that have been extremely isolated from the modern world. Those who seek out these tribes have the tribes' best interests at heart, and are keen to preserve the simplicity of native society. Isolated tribes can be placed in considerable danger as modern infrastructure expands and they come into contact with businesses involved in mining or rubber tapping. This is why those who seek to protect the tribes try to make contact first, ensuring that their territory is protected and that they receive medical protection.

Life on Earth doesn't need us

Article Abstract:

The Earth takes care of humans, rather than the other way round. For this reason, it is not possible for humans to take responsibility for the Earth. Humans are gradually destroying the Earth, and there is no scientific reason why the human species should exist indefinitely. The plants and animals which humans are currently placing under great pressure will exist long after human beings have died out, and humanity will never be able to conquer death.
