Amazonian Indigenous Organizations Threaten To Boycott FSC
Three key Amazonian Indigenous organizations have issued an unprecedented joint statement, accusing the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) of deliberately delaying a decision on whether to withdraw certification from a notorious logging company on uncontacted peoples’ land in the Peruvian Amazon. They have threatened to boycott further “pointless” negotiations with the FSC concerning the case.
The company, Canales Tahuamanu, has already bulldozed more than 120 miles of logging tracks deep into the territory of the uncontacted Mashco Piro people, whose images were broadcast around the world two weeks ago.
