About 300 indigenous peoples are resident in New Guinea, some of whom are still known today as so-called uncontacted groups are valid. As Fritz Meinecke writes in a post on Instagram:

“I was looking for different indigenous peoples who are still far away from civilization in the middle of the forest.

I wanted to live with them and find out more about the people, their traditions and various survival techniques.”

The experiences and impressions of the last few weeks had been “absolutely awesome” for him. So be it “a journey to another world” been, “of which probably very few people know that it even exists.”
