The amendment eliminates the requirement that landowners or companies get state authorisation before converting forested land to other uses. Critics say the change could legitimise years of illegal deforestation. Supporters of the amendment, enacted in March, say it will stabilise Peru\u2019s agricultural sector and provide farmers with greater legal certainty.<\/p>\n<p>Peru holds the second-largest share of Amazon rainforest after Brazil, with over 70 million hectares &#8211; about 60 per cent of Peru&#8217;s territory, according to nonprofit Rainforest Trust. It\u2019s one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and home to more than 50 Indigenous peoples, some living in voluntary isolation. These communities are vital guardians of ecosystems and the rainforests they protect help stabilise the global climate by absorbing large quantities of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is the main driver of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Urrunaga, Peru director at nonprofit Environmental Investigation Agency, warned that the Peruvian government is now \u201cfalsely arguing\u201d that the amendments are necessary to comply with the European Union\u2019s regulations. The EU will soon require companies importing products like soy, beef, and palm oil to prove their goods were not sourced from illegally deforested land. If products tied to illegal deforestation are later legalised and allowed into the market, that will weaken the effectiveness of demand-side regulations like those in the EU, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/04\/16\/indigenous-communities-push-back-against-peru-law-change-that-could-accelerate-amazon-defo\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-699\/\">Indigenous communities push back against Peru law change that could accelerate Amazon deforestation<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1177,575,18593,5533],"class_list":["post-139130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amazon","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-indigenous-community","tag-peru"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139130\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
