Peru: Rain Forests

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions his Department has had with the government of Peru on the protection of rainforest in that country.
Answer

We have frequent discussions with the Peruvian Government as part of our close and friendly bilateral relationship. This includes with Peru's Environment Minister on his commitment made at Poznan in December 2008 to reduce Peru's deforestation to zero by 2019. We have offered our support to the Peruvian Government as they seek to strengthen Peru's legal framework for protecting the Amazon.
