In August this year work will begin on the construction of an industrial park in Pucallpa. The park will be adjacent to the Federico Basadre road, which runs from Pucallpa to Lima. When complete the industrial park will extend over 288 hectares. The first phase of the development will involve 44 hectares and will cost around US$12 million. Finance will be provided by the Development Finance Corporation (COFIDE).
The relocation of wood processing plants to the park is expected to facilitate greater control over the flow of logs. All logs coming from Loreto and Ucayali will enter the park making the monitoring and control of log movements more efficient. The concentration of processing plants in the park will also provide an opportunity for efficient wood residue utilisation and disposal.
Native communities contribute to National Forest and Wildlife Policy
The Association for the Development of the Peruvian Rainforest (AIDESEP), an organization that brings together native communities from around the country, has contributed to the draft National Forestry and Wildlife Policy (PNFFS).
During a recent workshop to discuss the Forestry and Wildlife Policy draft Alberto Pizango Chota, president of the AIDESEP, highlighted the importance of open and honest communication between indigenous peoples and the state. The workshop concluded with approval of the contributions from AIDESEP.
