Todo el mundo ha leido, porque ha sido profusamentew divulgado a los medios que unos cables de Wikileaks acusaban al gobierno peruano de promover talas ilegales en zonas indígenas de la Amazonia.
Pues bien lo que no se ha detallado es que buena parte de esa madera habria sido certificada por FSC y el programa Smartwood (fundado por el Emporio Multinacional Rainforest Alliance).
Smartwood reecientemente cambio su nombre a NEPCon ¿casualidad?
A lo mejor es que esa parte de la verdad no conviene tanto que se sepa para poder mantener el chiringuito...

TIMBER Stolen From Indigenous Land in Brazil Receives Certification from Smartwood-FSC PERU JULY 30, 2007 - The Ashaninka indigenous people in the Apiwtxa community in Acre have published a letter on the invasions along the Brazil-PERUvian border, in which they harshly criticize the Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood Program, which fails to consider the illegal actions of the Forestal Venao TIMBER company over the last few years and, in April 2007, granted the company FSC certification in PERU. According to the Ashaninka, before deciding to certify Forestal Venao, the SmartWood Program should have consulted the surrounding population, to understand what its true practices and environmental, social and cultural impacts have been, including in Brazil. The Ashaninka claim that Forestal Venao is also supporting the establishment of new indigenous lands on the PERUvian side, bringing in families from other regions. "The leaders of these communities have allied themselves to the company, interested in logging along the border between Brazil and PERU." Source - Amazonia |
