Forest lands cannot be sold.
However, the following conflicts emerge:
Rights referred to the ownership of forest lands: conflicts of superposition of other rights conferred on native communities' lands (Amazonians indigenous communities) or peasant communities (Peasant indigenous communities) or rural properties.
Over resources: conflicts caused by illegal logging and other activities affecting the forest resource.
On resource management: issuing special procedures that contradict the general rule. For example, the Ministerial Resolution No. 0192-2009-AG
Yes. According to the Monthly Report on Social Conflicts No.67 of the Ombusdman, 132 socio-environmental conflicts have been registered in September 2009 (most of them related to the implementation of high-impact extractive activities in indigenous peoples' territories), 16 communal conflicts, 14 conflicts for land boundaries and 4 specifically related to selling lands illegally. Furthermore, there might be an undetermined number of unregistered overlaps.
