The tragedy is such that what can be saved of the Korubo's lives and culture can now only be via contact. No matter how costly. Sydney Possuelo is right. Yet, I have immense respect for his wisdom and experience, and would not blame him for trying to help the Korubo in the only way that still seems feasible. Things have reached such extremes that the Korubo must be contacted.
Alternative solutions are unrealistic.
But if I have no doubts about this, I do have fears. In the short term, fears that Korubo contact might entail unnecessary casualties for lack of proper organization. Risks are particularly great after Possuelo leaves the area, i.e. after public attention declines and adjoining financial resources drastically drop. If, as happened to the Matis, epidemics hit the Korubo several years after the consolidation of contact, casualties might run high. In many respects, they have protected the area.
