Abstract

The article reports on the 1,000 square miles of protected forest preserved for Tamandua and Pakyi, two of the remaining survivors of the indigenous Piripkura tribal group that once occupied a part of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, that could lose its protections. It informs about the legal challenge led by the Penço family to the protections of the Piripkura area. A historical background on the destruction of the Piripkura village is provided.
