Overview
- Indigenous federations AIDESEP, ORAU and ACONADIYSH report a sharp expansion of organized crime in Yurúa, citing narcotrafficking, illegal logging and the entry of Brazil’s Comando Vermelho and Comandos de la Frontera.
- SERNANP documented fresh deforestation at Quebrada La Raya, a site previously used as a clandestine airstrip, while DIRANDRO sources confirmed low‑altitude Cessna flights moving drugs toward Bolivia.
- On November 1–2, communities restored the Hito 38 frontier post to host the new Guardia Indígena Transfronteriza Perú–Brasil as a territorial control measure.
- The organizations demand permanent police presence, coordination between the Defense and Interior ministries, protection for indigenous defenders, alternative development, infrastructure improvements and legal recognition of the guard, urging President José Jerí Oré to visit Yurúa.
- Frontline communities Oori, Santa Rosa and Koshireni—buffering the Murunahua and Mashco Piro reserves with isolated peoples—report foreign camps inside protected areas and rising youth recruitment and drug use linked to trafficking routes.
