Two loggers have been killed by bow and arrow after allegedly encroaching the land of the uncontacted Mashco Piro Indigenous tribe deep in Peru’s Amazon, according to a rights group.

The group, known as FENAMAD, defends the rights of Peru’s Indigenous peoples. It says tensions between loggers and Indigenous tribes are on the rise and more government protective action is needed.

Two other loggers in the attack were missing and another was injured, FENAMAD said, and rescue efforts were underway.

    Those are your priorities. They don’t have the full geopolitical picture. A few decades ago they got decimated by disease as soon as outsiders made contact. They remember.

      No, this is you mixing the Akuntsu with the Mashco Piro.

      Your story isn’t related to this tribe.
