A tribe that had no contact with the outside came out of the Peruvian part of the Amazon forest in search of food. Members of the tribe were photographed in a river bed. Experts warn that leaving the birthplace shows that the tribe is facing a disaster.
Members of the Mascho Piro tribe have been photographed emerging from the Peruvian Amazon rainforest in search of food.
Survival International warns that the problems facing the tribe are being amplified by loggers just a few miles away, according to Sky News.
Members of the tribe are rarely seen and refuse to communicate with outsiders
Several logging companies hold concessions within the territory.
The Mashco Piro, who live between two nature reserves in Madre de Dios, are rarely seen and refuse to communicate with strangers.
In recent weeks they have been seen more often, both in Peru and Brazil. Experts believe they are fleeing loggers and demand that the tribe’s territorial rights be protected.
