Odebrecht blocked by National Parks office from attacking Peruvian Amazon









The Central Ashaninka of the Ene River - part of the CARE and AIDESEP federations, have noted that SERNAP (the office for protection of National Parks) have written to the Directorate of Electricity Ministry of Energy and Mines to reject the award of indigenous land to the (Brazillian energy corporation) Odebrecht.


This judgement is made on the basis of articles 11 and 202 of Law No.27444.


It prevents the Brazillian company from carrying out a feasibility study for hydro-electric generation.
