By GABRIELA SÁ PESSOA SAO PAULO (AP) — Pugapia and her daughters Aiga and Babawru lived for years as the only surviving members of the Akuntsu, an Indigenous people decimated by a government-backed push to develop parts of the Amazon rainforest.

People who live alone in far-off cities and may be at risk — or just perceived as such by friends or relatives — can push an outsized green circle on their...
