Rare photos and video published this week show members of an isolated Indigenous South American tribe emerging from the Amazonian rainforest in Peru near where logging companies have been demolishing land under government-backed concessions.

More than 50 members of the Mashco Piro tribe were seen on June 26 near the Yine village of Monte Salvado, close to the borders of Brazil and Bolivia in Madre de Dios, a representative with Survival International, which published the footage Tuesday, told HuffPost.

“Several logging companies hold timber concessions inside the territory that belongs to the Mashco Piro people,” the Indigenous rights organization said in a release. “The nearest is just a few miles from where the Mashco Piro were filmed.”

The Mashco Piro have had no contact with people from outside the area, and are considered voluntarily isolated. They have angrily denounced the presence of the loggers on their land, Survival International said, citing the Yine, who speak a language similar to that of the Mashco Piro.
