Isolated Tribes and Forests Threatened by Peru's New Amazon Road.
A new road could soon slice through a large portion of the otherwise impenetrable rainforests blanketing Peru’s eastern border.
Long a contentious proposition, the road was publicly declared “a national priority” and “in the national interest” by the country’s congress in January. Perhaps ironically, the measure passed almost immediately after Pope Francis visited the Peruvian Amazon and spoke strongly against the dangers of development, telling indigenous leaders that they have "never been so threatened in their territories as they are now.” Now, environmental and local activists are marshaling support to defeat the proposed project before any trees are cleared or pavement laid. Opponents worry the road will bring unregulated development to protected areas, threaten the lives of indigenous groups living in voluntary isolation, trample the rights of native communities, and invite drug and timber traffickers to the area.

After further surveying the jungle, Sgt Vadim gives a short sharp whistle. Manoeuvring in a pincer movement, the two units hope to flush out anyone attempting to plunder the forest for its riches. "But here in French Guiana we have a unique treasure, the jungle. Image copyright Getty Images.
