What happened
A government commission in Peru decided to revisit a 2016 study that recommended expanding the Madre de Dios Territorial Reserve, rather than proceeding with the expansion. Indigenous leaders warn that this policy shift could expose the territory of the Mashco Piro to logging. Survival International released images while Ramon Rivero was in a Peruvian government office.

Why it matters
The decision to reconsider the reserve expansion raises concerns that logging concessions overlapping the proposed area could continue operating. This policy shift introduces regulatory uncertainty and increased social risk to resource operations in Peru.
