Logging in Indigenous Area Cachoeira Seca
Greenpeace Brazil’s investigators documented logs stockpiled within Cachoeira Seca (Dry Waterfall) Indigenous land, where logging is illegal. Stolen timber will need to be ‘laundered' before it can be sold commercially by illegal loggers, through the misuse of official documentation.

Amazon Timber: Licence to Launder Investigation
Agropecuária Santa Efigênia’s forest management plan, located in Pará State, Brazil, was used to fraudulently obtain official documents for the purpose of laundering illegally logged timber. Following a Greenpeace investigation, official authorities suspended the company from trading timber. By then, 43,000m3 of timber had already been traded using its documentation – including nearly 12,000m3 of valuable ipê, worth at least US$7 million - if processed and exported. Santa Efigenia supplied timber to the domestic and export market, including Europe, Israel, Canada, Japan, The US and China.
Santa Efigenia’s logging estate is located 30kms away and on a road that cuts through the Cachoeira Seca indigenous area, where no logging is authorised but where illegal
logging is an ongoing problem.
