FENAMAD, AIDESEP, and COICA state that, “respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples, and especially the lives of uncontacted Indigenous People, is not a priority for the FSC”.
Logging in the lands of uncontacted people should never have been approved, for any reason. Ending the logging is inadequate - all roads must be destroyed and returned to natural conditions and blocked from access. Otherwise, like in the Amazon, for roads, if you build them, settlers come. FSC is a farce anyway - all cutting of trees must stop, that is theft from Nature. Logging is part of the edge of the firestorm of Capitalism.
