Reuters —Rare images of the Mashco Piro, an uncontacted indigenous tribe in the remote Peruvian Amazon, were published on Tuesday by Survival International, showing dozens of the people on the banks of a river close to where logging companies have concessions.
The Mashco Piro have been seen coming out of the rainforest more frequently in recent weeks.
More than 50 Mashco Piro people appeared in recent days near a village of the Yine people called Monte Salvado.
Several logging companies hold timber concessions inside the territory inhabited by the Mashco Piro.
The Mashco Piro have also been sighted across the border in Brazil, said Rosa Padilha, at the Brazilian Catholic bishops’ Indigenous Missionary Council in the state of Acre.
