The Peru Free Trade Agreement would sanction the destruction of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest -- home to jaguars, long-haired spider monkeys, blue-headed macaws, giant river otters and other endangered species -- by failing to address the illegal harvest and trade in mahogany.
This rampant, illegal logging is taking its toll on endangered jaguars and other creatures in Peru. Not only does it destroy Peru's Amazonian habitat, but logging routes expose endangered jaguars and other rainforest animals to hunting and capture. Peru exports thousands of cubic meters of mahogany that is illegally and unsustainably harvested -- over 90% of it imported to the United States.
Free trade shouldn’t mean illegal trade! Send a message to your Representative and Senators urging them to reject the Peru Free Trade Agreement: Sign This Petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction |
