An Awá  child stares intently at the camera, a pet monkey clinging to his head. The Awá are one of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes in Brazil. They move by night, carrying bags woven from grass and torches made from resin. Their forest provides them with food, shelter, and spiritual well-being. During the past four decades, however, cattle ranchers, settlers and illegal loggers have invaded their lands. More than 30% of the Awá’s forest has been cut down.
