Over a hundred Peruvian and international civil society organisations have signed a letter requesting the implementation of urgent and immediate measures, in view of the deaths of hundreds of indigenous people due to COVID-19, and to start the dialogue demanded by the national indigenous organisation AIDESEP more than a month ago.

New report finds that Peruvian government is failing to address the real causes of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon while undermining indigenous peoples’ efforts to protect their forests.

 The report, Revealing the Hidden: Indigenous perspectives on deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon was compiled by Peru’s national indigenous peoples’ organisation (AIDESEP) and international human rights organisation, Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) and is based on the analysis and perspectives of Peru’s indigenous leaders and organisations whose lives, lands and livelihoods are threatened by deforestation on a daily basis.
