Valdirmani Guajajara, 42, foreground, near Cigana Village in Araribóia Indigenous Reserve, Maranhão, Brazil on August 8, 2015. He said that loggers "pay a percentage to pass over our bridge." He was critical of the Guardians of the Forest and said "They (Guardians) have to reach a deal with these people with goodwill. Not everybody likes pressure". Loggers have been stealing hardwood trees from indigenous lands in Brazil. The Guardians of the Forest are an armed militia formed by the Guajajara tribe to protect their reserve.
