Lives could be lost in a confrontation over jungle land in Paraguay.
The rainforest of Amotocodie in Paraguay is home to isolated groups of Ayorèode indigenous people.
The company UMBU S.A. has bought 40,000 hectares of virgin rainforest right in the centre of Amotocodie, in order to establish cattle ranches.

The authorities have granted them permission to destroy that forest, and logging could start any time.
This planned deforestation contravenes the constitutionally guaranteed human and land rights of the indigenous population, who have lived there since ancestral times.
They have pledged to resist the destruction and lives could be lost. (Start: 11.04.2007)
