In Peru’s southeastern Amazon rainforest, the “Mashco-Piro” tribe, living completely isolated from the world, has been documented just a few kilometers away from ongoing logging operations.
Survival International, a civil society organization advocating for indigenous rights, disclosed the presence of native tribes during logging activities in southeastern Peru.
Photographs taken in the Monte Salvado region captured over 50 members of the Mashco-Piro tribe, with authorities identifying a separate group of 17 individuals in the nearby Puerto Nuevo area.
Survival International volunteers, highlighting the displacement of natives from their lands due to logging, demand the cancellation of logging permits for all companies operating in the region and the return of land to the Mashco-Piro people.
With over 750 estimated members, the Mashco-Piro tribe resides deep in the forests of southeastern Peru, believed to be the largest isolated tribe in the world.
