    Necesidad de una protección adecuada a los defensores y defensoras de derechos humanos ambientales
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022)
    The threats due to illegal logging, illegal mining, illegal agriculture and illicit cultivation of coca come together in the Amazon and in Peru. Such activities daily increase environmental defenders’ vulnerability level. They are subject to aggressions when defending and protecting their lands and natural resources. This panorama has been aggravated by the arrival of the pandemic and was complemented by incentive to extractive and infrastructure activities, resulting in the continuity of socio-environmental conflicts, such as escalation of violence and criminalization of environmental defenders. Murders have increased and have been reported by various international and domestic organizations, despite progress in the justice and environment sectors. Therefore, there is need for adequate implementation of various existing tools and also for the Congress of the Republic to ratify the Escazú Agreement, the first environmental treaty containing provisions for effective protection of these people.

    Cultivo de coca y minería ilegal en la Amazonía peruana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02)
    This article provides a narrative synthesis of the academic literature on coca cultivation and illegal mining in the Peruvian Amazon. Through secondary sources, it analyzes the expansion of these illicit economies into the eastern Amazon. In addition, the article presents and discusses four myths about illicit economies prevalent in public debate and the media, which prevent an understanding of the complexity behind these phenomena. The myths revolve around i) a full understanding of the extent and distribution of coca cultivation and illegal mining, ii) the existence of a direct relationship between illicit economies and violence, iii) the role of indigenous peoples in the expansion of these activities and, finally, iv) the absence or limited presence of the State in these contexts. Based on a narrative review of the literature, this article uses the findings of recent empirical evidence to question the validity of these myths. The article concludes with research conclusions and recommendations for the study of illicit economies.

    Internados indígenas y proyecto civilizatorio de las misiones franciscanas en la Selva Central peruana (1840-1945)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-15)
    This article discusses the new evangelization and civilization strategy of the Franciscan missionaries for the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The text describes the historical context of the Peruvian Selva Central region as a frontier region, colonization area and a place marked by the violence of settlers and rubber entrepreneurs, which also involved child trafficking. It also details the situation of the Franciscan missions, the creation of boarding schools, and the inclusion, for the first time in history, of female missionaries in the educational and evangelizing processes led by the Catholic church in this region. Finally, it explains how the emphasis placed on boarding schools for indigenous children did not prevent the missions from collaborating on other tasks related to the colonization process promoted by the Peruvian State in the Amazon region.
