He tracks elusive tribes

JAIR Candor had been searching the Amazon rainforest for three days when he heard their voices.

He had spent a decade documenting their tracks, but that day back in 2011 was his first time seeing them – a family of nine, trekking through the forest nude with children on their backs and arrows taller than him.
