The image above is of the Marquesas tribe in French Polynesia.

This remote tribe is one of the many that photographer Jimmy Nelson set out to capture, in order to raise awareness about the risk of losing global cultural heritage by squandering the cultural identities of the last indigenous peoples.

According to The Telegraph, the photographer wants to help preserve cultural diversity by issuing the warning: “Blink and They’re Gone”.

You can already tell that Nelson’s intentions are a lot more sincere than those of that idiot who got himself killed trying to force religion on tribespeople on India’s remote North Sentinel Island.

Here are eight of the most astonishing shots from the series, which you can view in full here.

Best way to preserve these cultures? Leave them alone.
