The Ayoreo who live in the Amazon Forest are being displaced due to cattle ranchers. Some Ayoreo have already moved out of the forest with relatives remaining inside. Below is a video interview with some who have left and their concern for their relatives. Notice how these Ayoreo now dress like Americans since leaving the forest instead of their traditional attire.
The ranchers plan to bulldoze a huge section (map in video) of Ayoreo's forest, making 2/3 cattle ranch and 1/3 will be a 'nature preserve!' Yep. The Ayoreo's home will become a ranch and preserve, making the Ayoreo "conservation refugees."
