Sanctioned Peruvian Loggers Reinvent Themselves

STRATEGY. Peruvian companies implicated in the Yacu Kallpa case have continued to extract and export forest products, including species categorized as vulnerable.

Ilustration:

The US veto to export timber extracted from the Amazon to the United States hit them, but it did not stop them. The partners behind the two sanctioned companies reinvented themselves, with new companies and allies, to continue shipping wood, especially to the Dominican Republic and Mexico. There would be nothing special about this, except that this is not just any forest, but the largest oxygen reserve of the planet and that the Peruvian government doesn’t have the mechanisms in place to trace the wood from its origin.
