Environmental groups urged the authorities to leave the bodies and respect the three-mile exclusion zone thrown around the island. What? Are they an animal group to be preserved? They would rather leave them as savages? However, the experience of the Jarawa since their emergence - sexual exploitation, alcoholism and a measles epidemic - has encouraged efforts to protect the Sentinelese from a similar fate. Oh right - don't bring them into the modern world they might... live longer... have better lives...

They seem to be expressing a desire to be left alone, one which I would respect.

Oh right - don't bring them into the modern world they might... live longer... have better lives... If they remain isolated with only 50 to 200 individuals, inbreeding will cause them to begin to die out in about 5 generations.
Inherited genetic diseases and infertility will become more prominent live births will become less frequent.

These tribes actually do fare poorly when they start having contact with the modern world...the various disasters that befall them aren't made up.

Cilivisation is the LAST thing they need.
