In a statement released February 2nd, Peru’s Foreign Ministry announced that they will ‘establish contact with Brazil’s FUNAI institute [Department of Indian Affairs]… to preserve these peoples and avoid the incursion of illegal loggers and the depredation of the Amazon.’
Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said today, ‘This is a really encouraging first step, let’s hope their declared intention turns into real action quickly.’
