As of 2012, the largest number of people who have not been contacted lie in West Papua (the Indonesian part of the island of New Guinea). However, many sources list Brazil's Amazon as the area with the largest number of uncontacted groups. The apparent contradiction is explained by the fact that there is much better information about the Brazilian groups (which are counted by an official organization in Brazil that protects the indigenous peoples). With regard to West Papua, there are at best rough estimates and no government organization that either counts them or seeks to protect them.
