What is known about these people The Mashko Piro tribe remains one of the largest communities believed to have lived without any contact with the outside world. But
The Mashko Piro tribe remains one of the largest communities believed to have lived without any contact with the outside world. But now that loggers are encroaching on their homes, footage released by rights group Survival International shows them moving further and further into the nearby Las Piedras River.
This underscores once again our sad reality of massive deforestation affecting one of the largest and most diverse land areas in the world.
Members of the Mashco Piro indigenous community, an isolated tribe in the Peruvian Amazon: video
Local advocates for indigenous peoples are sounding the alarm.
This is undeniable evidence that many representatives of Mashko Piro live in this area, which the government not only protects but also sells to logging companies.
– said Alfredo Vargas Pio, president of the local organization of indigenous peoples, FENAMAD.
He adds that loggers could introduce new diseases that could wipe out Mashko Piro. There is also the risk of violence from both sides, so it is vital that tribal land rights are recognised and protected by law.
According to government estimates, there are people living in the area approximately 750 representatives of this nationality. They are one of the 20 isolated tribes of Peru. The Mashco Piro live in an area located between two nature reserves in the Madre de Píos region, a southeastern region of Peru in the Amazon basin.

Logging, both legal and illegal, continues to be a major environmental problem. According to the Amazon Conservation Society, Rainforests approach ‘tipping point’Because of logging, they will no longer be able to produce enough rainfall to support their ecosystem.
Survival International says a humanitarian catastrophe is imminent and it is therefore imperative that the loggers be removed and Mashko Piro’s lands are finally properly protected.
