Brazilian tribe said to be threatened by loggers
Thursday, May 26, 2005
Another Brazilian tribe is said to be in danger due to encroachment on its territory by loggers.
The Jururei Tribe is believed to have as few as 8 members. The government considers them "uncontacted" because they have not been studied or approached.
The Jururei live in an area that was opened for logging by a judge. Another tribe in the same area has been fleeing its villages.
