An uncontacted Amazon tribe, the Mashco Piro, is venturing near a village, alarming activists. This coincides with a logging company building a bridge, increasing access to their territory. The Mashco Piro, lacking immunity to common illnesses, risk disease and conflict. Previous encounters with loggers resulted in deaths. Activists warn of an imminent clash, urging protection of the tribe's land and culture, despite government claims of increased protection efforts. A logging company, Maderera Canales Tahuamanu, continues operations despite a temporary suspension of its certification.
