Article about Manu Park Residents, 1986.

Scientists, including anthropologists, wrote prolifically about the park in the 1980s.  Nearly all of them gave some attention to the residents of the park, both ancient and contemporary.  In this article summarizing the park’s attributes, Peruvian researcher Gustavo Ruiz Pereyra describes and visually depicts these attributes including the largest native group in the park, the Matsigenka peoples.  How does he portray resident peoples visually?   What does this reveal about the park? Who else lives there?  Do these inhabitants and residents change the character of the park?  Why or why not?
