- A new report warned that the Yavarí-Tapiche Territorial Corridor is under threat from oil expansion, logging, and organised crime.
- The corridor is a proposed 16-million-hectare protected area in the Amazon region along the Peru–Brazil border.
- It is home to the world’s largest population of isolated Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact (PIACI).
- The region is an important carbon sink and a major biodiversity hotspot with very high primate diversity.
- Oil and gas blocks overlap more than 10% of the corridor, threatening large areas of tropical forest.
- Logging activities are also affecting forest areas in the Peruvian section of the corridor.
