Remarkable new images released today reveal dozens of uncontacted people in the Peruvian Amazon, just a few miles from several logging concessions.
The video and pictures were released by an Indigenous rights advocacy group, Survival International.
Campaigners assert these images underscore the urgent need to revoke all logging licenses in the area and officially recognise the territory as belonging to the Mashco Piro people, believed to be the world’s largest uncontacted tribe.
Recently, over 50 Mashco Piro individuals appeared near the Yine village of Monte Salvado in southeastern Peru.
In another incident, a group of 17 appeared near the neighbouring village of Puerto Nuevo. The Yine, who are not uncontacted and speak a language related to Mashco Piro, have reported that the Mashco Piro have angrily denounced the presence of loggers on their land. Several logging companies hold timber concessions within Mashco Piro territory, with the nearest just a few miles from where the Mashco Piro were filmed.
