More than 50 people who belong to the Mashco Piro tribe have been seen leaving the Peruvian Amazon rainforest in recent weeks in search of food, apparently moving away from the growing presence of logging companies, said the local indigenous organisation FENAMAD on Wednesday. The Mashco Piro were photographed at the end of June on the banks of a river near the border with Brazil, Survival International said as it released the photos.
The Mashco Piro, who inhabit an area located between two natural reserves in Madre de Dios in southeast Peru, do not communicate with the outside world.
