An uncontacted tribe in Peru was recently spotted along a river making big headlines recently. They are related to another close tribe and are currently fighting loggers trying to take their land. The push for taking logging licenses to help support these people has grown. Their name, “Mashco Piro,” means “people from the edge of the river” in their language.
Efforts have been made by various organizations and the Peruvian government to respect their desire for isolation while also providing protection and assistance when needed. However, contact with outsiders can pose risks to their health due to exposure to diseases for which they have no immunity. Therefore, efforts are typically made to minimize contact and to allow the Mashco Piro to continue their way of life autonomously.
