Wichi Indigenous Girl in Argentina

Elsa Angeles, 10 years old, attends school and plays with other kids in her community in Cuchuy, located in the north of Salta, 70 kilometers from the city of Tartagal. The clearing of the forests in this area protected by the National Forest Law, was illegally authorized by the government of Juan Manuel Urtubey, at the request of the owner of the land, Alejandro Jaime Braun Peña. The businessman is cousin of the Chief of Staff of the Nation Marcos Peña, and member of the board of several companies of the Macri family.

Bulldozers, Wichi Community and Illegal Deforestation at Cuchuy Farm in Argentina

Following a complaint filed by Greenpeace for the clearings in the Cuchuy farm in the north Argentina, the national Ministry of Environment cancelled clearing permissions in areas protected by the Forest Law: almost 150 thousand hectares (370 thousand acres), seven times the area of Buenos Aires city. The local Salta government ordered Alejandro Braun Peña, farm owner and cousin of the president's Chief of Staff, to stop the bulldozers.
Greenpeace had denounced the case in 2014 and stopped the clearing for a month until the activists were arrested.
Since last December, nearly 900 hectares of native forests were destroyed. Greenpeace activists documented and stopped the operation of the machines.
