The seized species seized mainly belong to Lupuna (Ceiba Pentandra), Pashaco (Schizolobium parahyba) and UBOS (Venosa Spondias Mart. Ex Colla). These come mostly from the regions of Huánuco and Ucayaliand the region had as a final destination Lime.
The engineer Luis Mendoza, responsible for the control post, explained that many of these interventions are due to vehicles transporting wood without valid documentation, with incomplete forest guides or with volumes higher than those declared. “When this document does not properly record all transported products, it is considered that its origin is illegal, constituting a very serious infraction,” he said.
