El mapeo satelital de la deforestaci\u00f3n en la Amazon\u00eda peruana muestra c\u00f3mo las actividades criminales amenazan la mayor selva h\u00fameda tropical del mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Im\u00e1genes compiladas por el Proyecto de Monitoreo del Amazonas Andino<\/a> (MAAP, por sus iniciales en ingl\u00e9s) muestran c\u00f3mo en 2018 la deforestaci\u00f3n a mediana escala afect\u00f3 grandes extensiones de selva h\u00fameda en las regiones centro y sur de Per\u00fa. Tambi\u00e9n destaca cinco puntos \u00e1lgidos de deforestaci\u00f3n en 2018, donde el sureste del pa\u00eds fue el m\u00e1s afectado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N: <\/strong>Autoridades en Per\u00fa a gatas para combatir miner\u00eda ilegal mientras deforestaci\u00f3n avanza<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tres de los cinco, La Pampa, la zona que circunda el Parque Nacional Bahuaja Sonene e Iberia, se encuentran en la regi\u00f3n de Madre de Dios. En estos lugares, la deforestaci\u00f3n es impulsada por la miner\u00eda ilegal de oro, y por proyectos agr\u00edcolas, incluyendo algunas plantaciones en zonas restringidas para dicha actividad. Las dem\u00e1s \u00e1reas se reparten entre las regiones selv\u00e1ticas centrales de Ucayali y Huanaco y las selvas de Loreto, en el noreste, donde la agricultura ha reclamado grandes \u00e1reas selv\u00e1ticas, muchas de las cuales se encuentran en zonas clasificadas como forestales, donde esta no se permite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En 2017 se talaron m\u00e1s de 155.000 hect\u00e1reas de bosque en Per\u00fa, seg\u00fan cifras del<\/a> Servicio Nacional Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre (SERFOR). Aunque algunos de estos fueron el resultado de actividades legales, gran parte de ello se debi\u00f3 a las econom\u00edas criminales que derivan millones de d\u00f3lares de la explotaci\u00f3n de la Amazon\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Como lo resaltan las im\u00e1genes del MAAP, una de las principales causas de la deforestaci\u00f3n es la miner\u00eda ilegal de oro desbordada<\/a> en la regi\u00f3n de Madre de Dios. Dirigida por clanes mineros criminales<\/a> y motor de otras actividades de crimen organizado, como la trata de personas<\/a> y el lavado de dinero<\/a>, la miner\u00eda ilegal no solo causa deforestaci\u00f3n, sino tambi\u00e9n contaminaci\u00f3n generalizada del Amazonas, por el uso de qu\u00edmicos como mercurio y el vertimiento de residuos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Informe expone tejemaneje del tr\u00e1fico de madera en Per\u00fa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Per\u00fa tambi\u00e9n alberga un lucrativo negocio ilegal de madera<\/a>. Los taladores ilegales que operan en regiones como Loreto, Ucuyali, Madre de Dios, San Mart\u00edn y Huanaco, est\u00e1n empujando a ciertas especies al borde de la extinci\u00f3n en su af\u00e1n por atender el mercado dom\u00e9stico y mercados externos, como China<\/a>. Detr\u00e1s de los taladores est\u00e1n las mafias de traficantes de madera, muchos de quienes operan tras la fachada de empresas legales, y redes de corrupci\u00f3n que llegan a las entra\u00f1as del gobierno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El tr\u00e1fico de drogas<\/a> tambi\u00e9n es un factor importante en la deforestaci\u00f3n<\/a>, pues el aislamiento de la selva constituye la pantalla perfecta para el cultivo de coca, y para las pistas de aterrizaje clandestinas usadas por aviones ligeros que sacan los narc\u00f3ticos del pa\u00eds. El procesamiento de narc\u00f3ticos tambi\u00e9n contamina el medio ambiente, mediante el vertimiento de qu\u00edmicos precursores t\u00f3xicos en los canales de agua amaz\u00f3nicos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Incluso actividades en apariencia legales son muchas veces fachadas para la criminalidad y la corrupci\u00f3n en el Amazonas. Como lo muestra el MAAP, los proyectos agr\u00edcolas prestan poca atenci\u00f3n al uso de la tierra y las restricciones a la deforestaci\u00f3n, pues el despojo de tierras es f\u00e1cil de legalizar gracias a la corrupci\u00f3n rampante<\/a>. El tr\u00e1fico de tierras tambi\u00e9n es generalizado<\/a>, con un comercio ilegal de parcelas que luego se arrasan para cultivarlas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El mapeo satelital de la deforestaci\u00f3n en la Amazon\u00eda peruana muestra c\u00f3mo las actividades criminales amenazan la mayor selva h\u00fameda tropical del mundo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":97378,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[759],"tags":[439,456,409,3481],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3821],"class_list":["post-97457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias","tag-delitos-ambientales","tag-mineria","tag-peru-pais","tag-trafico-de-madera","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/satelites-amenaza-criminales-amazonia-peru\/","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Sat\u00e9lites revelan amenaza de actividades criminales en Amazon\u00eda de Per\u00fa","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/satelites-amenaza-criminales-amazonia-peru\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/satelites-amenaza-criminales-amazonia-peru\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/forest-indo_destruction-new.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/forest-indo_destruction-new.jpg?fit=350%2C232&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"James Bargent"}],"creator":["James Bargent"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["delitos ambientales","miner\u00eda ilegal","per\u00fa","tr\u00e1fico de madera"],"dateCreated":"2019-03-20T09:25:01Z","datePublished":"2019-03-20T09:25:01Z","dateModified":"2024-09-02T20:07:41Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":186197,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/investigaciones\/arboles-de-dinero-los-delitos-ambientales-en-la-amazonia-peruana\/","url_meta":{"origin":97457,"position":0},"title":"\u00c1rboles de dinero: los delitos ambientales en la Amazon\u00eda peruana","author":"Mar\u00eda Fernanda Ram\u00edrez","date":"2 de junio de 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"La Amazon\u00eda peruana, que cubre casi la mitad del pa\u00eds andino, es rica en biodiversidad y fundamental para la captura de carbono, que mitiga el calentamiento global.
