Human safaris to see the Jarawa tribe of the Andaman Islands have finally come to an end as the authorities there bow to domestic and international pressure.

For the first time in a generation, members of the tribe are able to wander through their jungle safe from the prying eyes of the tens of thousands of tourists who travel to the islands in the Bay of Bengal every year to view them.

India's Supreme Court last week ordered an end to the safaris that had scandalized the country and caused outrage around the world after they were exposed by The Observer in January 2012.
