ABSTRACT

This morning my eye caught a couple of chainsaws during an interview in Pasyar’s office (a development tourist organization). They just stood there, next to the organic soap, under a poster picturing happy tourists enjoying their trip to the Underground River. ‘Aaah’, B sighed, following the direction of my eyes, ‘those are some of our confiscated chainsaws, and I wanted to tell you . . . it is part of one our newest offers. Maybe you could promote it as well?’ She winks. When I had entered the room that same morning, someone had also joked (I had presumed) when I stumbled across some rubber hoses and gas bottles: ‘Ah, don’t worry, that’s just some confiscated material’. I looked around, again. Chainsaws, rubber hoses, empty gas bottles, truck wheels, why was this stuff lying around here in the first place? In a souvenir shop that sells organic soap fabricated by indigenous communities, and promotes eco-tourism as an answer to mining? B. explains: ‘Some people that work here are just addicted to confiscating chainsaws used for illegal logging. To catch illegal fishers boats and expose their material. And as of today, you can join the chainsaw “hunters” and help them confiscate the material’.
