I told you Year 11.

It is estimated that there are approximately 100 uncontacted tribes living on the planet and over half of them are in the Amazon Rainforest.

Recent photographs taken by Brazilian Government officials show one such tribe. Located on the boarder between Brazil and Peru these photographs show the homes of the tribe and shows what effect an aeroplane has on the tribes-men; two try to shoot it down with bow and arrow.
An organisaiton that aims to help and protect such tribes is Survival International. Its website has excellent case study material on the effects that modern society has on such tribes. So why not have a look at their website and build up your examples?
