ASUNCION (Reuters) - Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe’s largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world.
The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation.
The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW BMWG.DE, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said.
