Uncontacted tribe sighted in Peruvian Amazon where loggers operate | ABS-CBN News

Rare images of an uncontacted indigenous tribe in the Peruvian Amazon forest were published by Survival International showing dozens of Mashco Piro people on the banks of a river close to where logging companies have concessions.
The reclusive tribe, one of the world's most withdrawn, has been sighted coming out of the rainforest more frequently in search of food and moving away from the growing presence of loggers, said local indigenous rights group FENAMAD.
Survival International said that dozens of Mashco Piro people were photographed at the end of June on the banks of a river in the Madre de Dios region in southeast Peru near the border with Brazil.
The Mashco Piro in the area of the Las Piedras and Tahuamanu rivers seldom appear and do not communicate much with the Yine or anyone, according to Survival International.
Several logging companies hold timber concessions inside the territory inhabited by the Mashco Piro, the nearest just a few miles from where the uncontacted people were filmed.
One company, Canales Tahuamanu, has built more than 200 kilometers of roads for its logging trucks to extract timber, according to Survival International.
A Canales Tahuamanu representative in Lima did not respond to an email request for comment.
The Peruvian government reported on June 28 that residents had informed they saw the Mashco Piro people when they passed by boat on the Las Piedras River, 150 kilometers from the city of Puerto Maldonado de Madre de Dios. - Report from Reuters

_Tribes "no contactados" means they are protected by Law . Not invading their land, and let them live in peace. Their land has been limited using satelite image and is just for them. _*_If they are still living that way is because Peruvians wanted this happens_*_ The Amazon Rainforest is shared by Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. Among all those countries _*_only Peru_*_ has been protected them. Here illegal logging is seized by police. The law is clear on this matter, if we cut amazon trees we will receive a penalty of 3 to 6 years. We are preserving not only of the Amazon, but also Condors in the Andes, Pava Aliblanca, Caymanes, Inca Culture, Arqueological Spots, llamas, Alpacas, Vicuñas, Vizcachas, agricultural seeds, varieties of corn, varieties of potato, etc. I am peruvian and understand very well the situation. I hope you thumb up my message_

Good for them, no internet, no cheat, no money, no self improvement, I like that they still follow the path of their ancestors, First humans. they live better than us they are lucky ppl

[@reemsaif3105]

None of them are fat either 😊

[@superchickensoup]

​@@reemsaif3105 I don't totally agree with that, I think your comment is correct, but personally I prefer my life where I get to indulge in my hobbies and interests. No offence but if you think it is that great, sell your house and belongings give all the money away and go live naked in a tropical forest. Would you do that?

[@AnaSousa-z2i]

​​​​​​​​​​@@superchickensoup False question. A bird that born and grow up wild is okay at nature, but what happens whit an adult bird who born whit people and live years in an cage if he is released on nature? Or a cat pet grow up in house suddenly released on nature? The creature, humans also, will have desorientation.

I wish i can live with them

[@lovelylipbonesouwwwwwwwolv2198]

Please leave them alone they don't have to worry about taxes or inflation...

[@stevedemoe1359]

Turn around and leave. Set a 100 mile no go zone around them. Let them be. They’re way happier then any of us are!

[@lonniemcguire1343]

They can't see me , but I can see them.

[@paulfletcher3998]

I hope we leave them alone.

[@NuranPowell]

I am trapped in most dangerous country in England/UK and l am too scared to leave the house and l live like a tribe in my own house 😢😢

The saddest thing is that none of these people are trained biologists qualified to tell you what a woman is.

[@bennyson6692]

I find this to be very interesting and fascinating.

Logging company ko arrest karo

[@obsidianjane4413]

Almost surely staged. They did a good job getting everyone in costume and hiding mopeds and smartfones. Not an old tshirt or plastic bucket in sight!

Incorrect translation. It means: If you go there, they will barbeque you.
