Rare video from the banks of the Madre de Dios riverbanks in Peru shows the group stood around in small clusters, some jogging to pick up large spears resting in the dirt
Incredible new video shows an 'uncontacted' hunter-gatherer tribe brandishing spears on the banks of a river in remote Peru - amid fears their rainforest home is being increasingly disrupted by logging.
Survival International, working with tribes around the world for their safety, says dozens of tribal people have appeared near other tribal settlements in southeast Peru in recent days, concerned about the presence of loggers.Rare photos show the tribe emerging from the rainforest and interacting on the river banksExperts worry the tribe may be pushed out of their homes by logging activity nearby
Who are the Mascho Piro tribe? The Mascho Piro tribe are an indigenous group of nomadic hunter-gatherers based in southeast Peru. Back then, there was estimated to be between 100 and 250 people belonging to the tribe, living on an estimated territory of some 770,000 hectares of land. More than 50 Mashco Piro people appeared in recent days near a village of the Yine people called Monte Salvado.
In 2022, members of the Mashco Piro tribe shot two Catahua workers with bows and arrows while fishing on the Tahuamanu River, killing one.Survival International is now calling on the Forest Stewardship Council to withdraw its certifications of Catahua's operations - and petitioning for support to help protect uncontacted tribes.
The Peruvian government reported on June 28 that local residents had reported seeing Mashco Piro on the Las Piedras river, 150 kilometers from the city of Puerto Maldonado, the capital of Madre de Dios.
