Peru releases images to highlight dangers to ‘uncontacted’ tribes

The “most detailed sightings of uncontacted tribes ever recorded on camera” have been released to illustrate the danger of their lives becoming less isolated.

Taken in Manú National Park, south-eastern Peru, the images show a family from the Mashco-Piro tribe.

Peruvian authorities are struggling to keep outsiders away from the clan of previously isolated Amazon Indians who began appearing on the banks of a jungle river popular with environmental tourists last year.
