📋 Tender Overview
The National Coordination of Specialized Prosecutors in Environmental Matters (FEMA) achieved the destruction of two crawler excavators, a diesel engine, a truck, as well as heavy caterpillar-type machinery used for illegal mining activities in the native community of Kumpanam, located in the district of El Cenepa, in Amazonas.
According to the actions directed by the provincial deputy prosecutor Jesus Pascual Sanchez Alejos, the vehicles were found in the gated area adjacent to the Republic of Ecuador.
Likewise, along the trail that connects the intervention area with said ravine, signs of illicit extraction of gold ore in the alluvial mode by suction, in the Tiwinza River ravine, were identified.
Given the visible damage to the environment, the application of Legislative Decree No. 1100 was ordered, which enables the destruction of instruments used for illegal mining. The respective documentation of the case was also sent to the Specialized Environmental Prosecutors Office of Bagua for the initiation of the corresponding legal actions.
The National Coordination of Specialized Prosecutors in Environmental Matters reaffirms its firm commitment to continue deploying strategic and articulated actions throughout the national territory to combat illegal mining and protect our ecosystems.
