From the article
... illegal loggers who were cutting down trees at the Peruvian and Brazilian border have accidentally cut down what experts claim was the oldest living tree in the world. They were logging in the Matsés Indigenous Reserve, where logging is strictly prohibited. The were thought to be exploiting the area for oil and natural gas reserves.
Very reminiscent of the storyline in the movie "Avatar".
"Accidentally" Quite an accident.
