Science refutes United Cacao’s claim it didn’t deforest Peruvian Amazon Years of satellite imagery and analysis reveals that United Cacao, a company once publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, deforested nearly 2,000 hectares (about 5,000 acres) of primary forest in the Peruvian Amazon. The evidence refutes the company’s narrative that farmers had degraded the land before it arrived. The deforestation, as well as other legal violations, have led to sanctions against a successor to United Cacao’s Peruvian subsidiary, now called Tamshi SAC. But Tamshi is now claiming that Mongabay Latam improperly used the term “deforestation” and has sued for defamation.
