> Loggers don’t report sightings of the Mashco Piro, for fear of having their operations shut down. A Mashco Piro man told one Yine villager: “The men wearing orange are bad people.” The loggers wear orange jumpsuits.
Not really uncontacted then.
To me it’s near curule to go out of our way to not interact with people simply so we can watch them. If I were born into that tribe and then died and went to some after life and found out that the rest of the world denied me the experience of technology I would be hella pisses.
It’s probably on a tree?

Also, look, you are not uncontacted in Peru in 2024 unless you prefer it that way. People know who their neighbors are, and if they want to reach out they can.
In fact, we have heard what these people think of the logging, through a neighbor of theirs:
> The Yine, who are not uncontacted, speak a language related to Mashco Piro, and have previously reported that the Mashco Piro angrily denounced the presence of loggers on their land.
I think that should be respected.
If your only understanding of modernity was intruder destroying your habitat, you’d feel the same.
But depriving people of modernity is some sort of savior complex.
