An appeals court has overturned a significant ruling that granted an Indigenous community in the Peruvian Amazon the right to reclaim ancestral rainforests. Legal experts have criticized this decision, considering it irregular.

The Kichwa tribes have inhabited the Cordillera Azul National Park region for centuries before the park’s establishment in 2001, which they claim resulted in the theft of their land.

In an effort to offset their carbon emissions, major companies like Shell and TotalEnergies have invested over $80 million in purchasing credits from the park, the Associated Press has reported.
