Loggers Clash with Indigenous Group in Peruvian Amazon, Resulting in Fatalities

In a recent incident in the Peruvian Amazon, an uncontacted tribe is reported to have killed two loggers with bows and arrows, while another logger was injured and two are missing. The attack occurred on August 29, a day before the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) suspended the sustainability certification of a logging company accused of encroaching on the tribe's ancestral land. The FSC's decision to suspend certification has been met with demands from Peruvian Amazon Indigenous groups and the NGO Survival International to permanently cancel the certification of the Canales Tahuamanu timber concession. The incident has highlighted escalating tensions between the tribe and indigenous groups, with FENAMAD, an organization advocating for Indigenous rights, expressing concern over the situation.
