Two indigenous Shipibo men from Peru’s Amazon - Sedequías Ancón Chávez and Robert Guimaraes Vasquez - paid a rare visit to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) earlier this month. three representatives of the indigenous Peruvian people of the Peruvian Amazon visited the London Stock Exchange ( LSE ) April 2015 to present a letter to the LSE ’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) calling on it to bar the United Cacao Limited SEZC company and to generally “exact more active oversight”. The letter states that, “Allowing companies listed on AIM to raise capital to violate other countries’ national laws jeopardizes the “integrity and reputation” of the market, which is grounds for suspension of a company’s trading, according to AIM Rules”. A report from the NGO Environmental Investigation Agency ( the United Cacao Limited SEZC ) supports the letter. United Cacao is accused of illegal deforestation, of ignoring three orders from Amazon to cease operations at three different plantations and of making misleading statements about its environmental procedures.
