#SullaPelleDegliAyoreo

Survival has filed a formal OECD complaint against Italian company Pasubio, which supplies leather to car makers such as BMW and Jaguar Land Rover.

98% of the leather Italy imports from Paraguay comes from four tanneries that trade with ranches guilty of illegally occupying and deforesting the ancestral land of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode in Paraguay's Chaco forest - and Pasubio is the main recipient.

The forests of the Paraguayan Chaco suffer from one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, and their destruction threatens the survival of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode and that of their uncontacted relatives living in the forest.

Companies like Pasubio can't ignore these activities and those of their suppliers.
