Mashco Piro
In 2024, the Mashco Piro, an uncontacted tribe from Peru’s Amazon rainforest, emerged from isolation. The tribe left their isolated habitat due to encroachment and the search for food and safety. The Peruvian government established the Madre de Dios Territorial Reserve to protect the Mashco Piro’s territory, but large parts of their traditional lands are outside the reserve and have been sold for logging. The government has also forbidden contact with the Mashco Piro to prevent the spread of diseases.
