Logging Company Certification Suspended After Fatal Clash with Mashco Piro in Peru's Amazon
Sep 4, 2024, 08:05 PM
An international forestry group has suspended the sustainability certification of a logging company operating near an uncontacted tribe in Peru's Amazon. This action follows a fatal clash between the Mashco Piro, an isolated indigenous community, and loggers. The confrontation resulted in the deaths of two loggers and the disappearance of two others. The Mashco Piro, known for their isolation, used bows and arrows in the attack. The incident has sparked discussions about the safety and rights of indigenous tribes in the Amazon. Survival International described the incident as 'entirely avoidable.'
