A young indigenous land defender has been shot dead and another wounded by illegal loggers in Brazil's Amazon.
Paulo Paulino Guajajara was reportedly attacked and shot in The Head while hunting on Friday inside the Arariboia reservation in Maranhao state.
He was a member of Guardians of The Forest , a group formed to combat logging gangs in the area.
The Killing increases concerns about escalating violence against Amazon forest protectors.
Non-profit group Survival International , which advocates for isolated communities, says at least three Guardians have previously been killed, along with many of their relatives.

Brazil's populist President Jair Bolsonaro has drawn intense domestic and international criticism for failing to protect The Guardians ' territory in The Eastern Amazon region.

Brazil's justice Minister Sérgio Moro said Federal Police were investigating The Incident . "We will spare no effort to bring those responsible for this serious crime to justice," he tweeted.
