indigenous communities disagree, particularly with the species that are being used to reforest. 128 Moreover, during the on-site procedure, the Court observed that the scenery has been radically altered in the areas that had been exploited. E.2.3 Other natural resource extraction activities 94. One of the consequences of the construction of the highway to extract bauxite was the implementation of legal and illegal logging activities, poaching, and the mining of sand, gravel and kaolin.129 95. In the case of the logging activities, in 2008 the State granted a logging permit to members of the indigenous community of Alfonsdorp.130 However, according to Captain Watamaleo, the non-indigenous persons who took part in the logging activities are responsible for the destruction of the forest, because they do not cut down the trees in a way that would allow the saplings to grow. Furthermore, the paths that were traditionally used by the indigenous peoples for hunting are being eliminated.131 And, non-indigenous persons have indiscriminately logged trees that are sacred according to the world vision of the Kaliña and Lokono peoples.132 F. The urban subdivision project called "Tuinstad Albina" (“Garden City Albina”) 96. It is an undisputed fact that, in 1975, the State began an urban subdivision project called "Tuinstad Albina" (“Garden City Albina”) along the Marowijne River near the villages of Erowarte, Tapuku, Pierrekondre and Marijkedorp (Wan Shi Sha).133 97. According to the State, the area where the subdivision project is being executed was not inhabited by indigenous peoples. However, statements made by several members of the indigenous communities affected affirm the contrary. Thus, Captain Watamaleo stated that the State had divided up parts of the villages into individual parcels even though indigenous persons were living on those lands at the time.134 In addition, Captain Gunther stated that members of his community were forced to leave their land.135 Similarly, Max Sabajo, a Lokono from Marijkedorp, indicated that the indigenous peoples of the area were displaced from the banks of the Marowijne River when the State began to grant parcels to wealthy individuals from the city.136 128 In this regard, the trees planted have grown very little and are of no use to feed the animals because they no longer provide fruits and seeds.
