Photo Gallery: 'Amazonian Warriors Combat Loggers'

While Brazil's government has reduced deforestation by 70 percent in the last decade, some illegal logging operations continue unabated, and local tribes have had enough.

A photo slideshow on NBC News shows how the Ka'apor Indians located in the jungles of northeast Brazil have taken matters into their own hands. As a warning, some images in the slideshow depict violence.

"Tired of what they say is a lack of sufficient government assistance in keeping loggers of their land, the Ka'apor Indians… have sent their warriors out to expel all loggers they find and set up monitoring camps in the areas that are being illegally exploited," according to the story.
