Indigenous leaders urge UN action on Amazon crime networks
Original: Criminal networks threaten the Amazon. Indigenous leaders want the UN to act
Indigenous leaders from across the Amazon are calling on the United Nations to confront the spread of criminal networks operating in the rainforest. Organized groups involved in illegal mining, logging, drug trafficking and land grabbing are driving deforestation and violence against local communities. The leaders say national governments have failed to protect the territory and are seeking international intervention to safeguard both the forest and the people who live there.
Why now: The UN is holding its annual General Assembly, giving Indigenous leaders a high-profile platform to press for international action on the Amazon.
