Jimmy Nelson, a British photographer, traveled all over the world to experience and document the cultures of the vanishing, indigenous tribes. Here are some photographs of these beautiful people.













Jimmy says “If we could start a global movement that documents and shares images, thoughts and stories about tribal life both old and new, perhaps we could save part of our world’s precious cultural heritage from vanishing. We must work to let them coexist in these modern times by supporting their cause, respecting their habitats, recording their pride, and helping them to pass on their traditions to generations to come.” Check out Jimmy Nelson’s book, [Before They Pass Away](http://www.teneues.com/shop-us/index.php), and his [website](http://www.beforethey.com/).
