Logging Threatens Remaining Uncontacted Communities
According to the Guardian, one of the Brazil’s last uncontacted indigenous tribes has been photographed in the Amazon jungle.
Other uncontacted groups on the Peruvian side of the border, who have also been photographed by experts, were being pushed from their homes by illegal logging. “What is happening in this region [of Peru] is a monumental crime against the natural world, the tribes, the fauna, and is further testimony to the complete irrationality with which we, the civilised ones, treat the world,” Meirelles said. Loggers, often prepared to kill as they move into new areas, have forced uncontacted tribes from Peru into Brazil. The area is regularly full of smoke from the burning of recently-logged areas.
