The Forest Stewardship Council suspends certification of Maderera Canales Tahuamanu (MCT) The company is accused of encroaching on the traditional territory of the Mashco Piro , an Indigenous group that lives in voluntary isolation.

The move follows an incident in which at least two loggers were shot dead with arrows, one injured and several others missing.

Indigenous rights campaigners say the isolated people are being forced to flee the forest they inhabit due to timber extraction.

The seldom-seen Mashco Piro live mostly in the Madre de Dios Territorial Reserve , but experts say their ancestral territory extends beyond it into nearby forestry concessions.

The latest violent confrontation against loggers was entirely avoidable, says Survival International .

Survival International will be watching developments closely to ensure this suspension isn’t just a “tactic to kick the problem into the long grass,” says Watson .
