The advocacy group Survival International has released photos showing members of the isolated Amazon tribe Mashco-Piro yesterday, which lives near the Manu National Park in southeastern Peru. They describe the pictures as the “most detailed sightings of uncontacted Indians ever recorded on camera.”
Peruvian authorities say they are struggling to keep outsiders away from the previously isolated tribe, who have been spotted on the banks of a jungle river popular with tourists. According to Survival International the tribe is pushed into new lands, because of the change on gas and oil projects and illegal logging the area.
