“Uncontacted tribes in the Peruvian Amazon about lumberjack activities!”

Rare images of the Mashco Piro, an uncontacted indigenous  lineage in the remote Peruvian Amazon, published on Tuesday by Survival International, show dozens of people on a beachfront near where a logging company has a concession.

The reclusive  lineage has been seen venturing out of the rainforest more  constantly in recent weeks in hunt of food,  supposedly to escape a growing number of  lumberjacks, said original indigenous rights group FENAMAD.

Mashco Piro was mugged in late June on a beachfront in the Madre de Dios region of southeastern Peru near the border with Brazil. “ A large number of the  insulated Mashco Piro  lineage live alone a many kilometers from where the  lumberjacks will start their operations, ” said Survival International director Caroline Pearce. 

further than 50 Mashco Piro men appeared in recent days near a Yine  lineage  vill called Monte Salvado. Another group of 17 people appeared in the  near  vill of Puerto Nuevo, said an NGO that defends the rights of indigenous people. 

The Mashco Piro, who inhabit an area located between two nature reserves in Madre de Dios, infrequently appear and don't communicate  important with Yine or anyone differently, according to Survival International. 

Several logging companies hold timber concessions in areas  enthralled by MashcoPiro.One company, Canales Tahuamanu, has  erected  further than 200 kilometers( 124  long hauls) of roads for logging  exchanges to pick up logs, according to Survival International. 

A representative for Canales Tahuamanu in Lima didn't respond to a request for comment.  The company is certified by the timber Stewardship Council, which it says owns 53,000 hectares( 131,000 acres) of  timber in Madre de Dios for  rooting  cedar and mahogany. 

The Peruvian government reported on June 28 that original  residers reported seeing Mashco Piro in the Las Piedras swash, 150 kilometers( 93 mi) from the  city of Puerto Maldonado, the capital of Madre de Dios.

Mashco Piro has also been seen crossing the border in Brazil, said Rosa Padilha, at the Indigenous Missionary Council of Brazil's unqualified bishops in Acre state. “ They fled from  lumberjacks in Peruvian  home, ” he said.

“ At this time of time they appear on the  sand to pick up tracajá( Amazon turtle) eggs. That is when we  set up their  vestiges in the beach. They left a lot of turtle shells before. ”" They're a nation that isn't peaceful, restless because they're always on the run," said Padilha.
