flag Peru’s uncontacted Mashco Piro tribe faces escalating threats from illegal logging, mining, and settlement, risking their survival.

flag In Peru’s Amazon, the Mashco Piro, one of the world’s largest uncontacted tribes, face growing threats from logging, mining, and illegal settlement, forcing more frequent encounters with nearby villagers in Nueva Oceania. flag Despite Peru’s non-contact policy, the area lacks official protection, leaving the tribe vulnerable to disease, violence, and habitat loss. flag Residents fear attacks but also respect the Mashco Piro as “brothers,” leaving food offerings and avoiding confrontation. flag Human rights groups warn that without stronger safeguards, half of the world’s 196 uncontacted groups could disappear within a decade.
