Authorities in Peru and Ecuador created a team that will work in the hopes of eradicating illegal mining in the Puyango-Tumbes river, which serves as a border between the two countries.
The National Service of Natural Protected Areas by the State of Peru (Sernanp) announced this information yesterday in a statement, according to El Comercio.
During the last patrol on June 11, the team did not register illegal mining practices in the vicinities of the river.
The river Puyango-Tumbes is formed by several streams from the Ecuadorian provinces of Loja and El Oro, and then enters the northern Peruvian region of Tumbes to meet near the border with Ecuador.
