Descargar PDF In light of recent false statements disseminated through certain media outlets in the region regarding our company’s activities and its relationship with neighboring communities, Ocho Sur deems it necessary to clarify the following:
- We stand by our statement dated October 20, 2026, in which we reported that alleged land traffickers continue to invade our forest reserve areas on the Zanja Seca estate and to commit the crime of deforestation.
- This reserve area lies within the Zanja Seca estate, which is owned by Ocho Sur and recorded in the public registries. These are neither communal lands nor disputed areas.
- The invaders are reportedly using the name of our neighbors, the Kokamas, for their unlawful purposes.
- With the Kokamas Unidos Ecológicos de Curimaná Community, we have maintained peaceful and harmonious coexistence since the start of our operations, based on respect, transparency and shared value.
- Ocho Sur rejects and does not tolerate any conduct involving threats, coercion, acts of violence, improper offers or any other action contrary to the law and to respect for the fundamental rights of individuals.
- It is false that the company or its officers have engaged in any such conduct.
- The Specialized Environmental Prosecutor’s Office and the Peruvian National Police have already verified on the ground the facts we have reported. We will continue to defend, firmly and in accordance with the law, the forest reserves within our estates that are under threat.
- We reaffirm our respect for the rights of native communities, for their legitimately recognized authorities, and for the decisions adopted by the competent institutions regarding their recognition and titling.
