IRI Peru continues advocacy with Congress

IRI Peru continues to work through Congress on a number of fronts. In the Commission of Amazonian, Andean and Afro-American Peoples, Environment and Ecology (CPAAAAE), IRI Peru requested the organization of a Political Control meeting to SERFOR and MINAM to report on the situation of territorial concessions in the Amazon.  As a result, a technical working group has been formed with specialists from SERFOR and MINAM to report on the situation of forest concessions.  Within the same commission, IRI Peru has been working to advocate for a bill on the rights of nature which has been put before Congress.  IRI Peru made a statement advocating for adoption of the bill in a meeting with all the congressmen of the commission.
