Rare images of members of the world’s largest uncontacted tribe show them emerging from the Peruvian Amazon – just miles from where companies are controversially logging pristine rainforest. The photos and videos show around 50 men, women and children from the Mashco Piro tribe on a sandy bank of the remote Las Piedras river in the jungle region of Madre de Dios, near the border with Brazil. With long hair and wearing nothing but loincloths, the elusive hunter-gatherers can clearly be seen from a distance gathering branches to build temporary shelters. The images were released by Survival International, an indigenous rights group, which is warning that the logging is illegal and poses an existential threat to the extremely vulnerable tribe. #uncontactedtribes #southamerica #peru Read more here:
