Timber extraction is the most important economic activity in the Ucayali region (to the east of the Peruvian Amazon), although a large percentage of that extraction is illegal. This research describes the precarious conditions of life and work in the first clusters in the chain of the timber trade, and items associated with the exploitation of adolescent males in the dynamic extraction in rural villages (in the Utuquinia river, at seven hours of sailing from the city of Pucallpa, capital of the Ucayali region). Based in the analysis of 27 cases of male adolescents (selected from a quantitative sample collected with a survey and complemented with interviews), this article describes the role of adolescent labor in the dynamics of timber extraction and the conditions of exploitation. The results show that the exploitation appears to be associated with the precariousness of the scenario and the severe conditions of insecurity extended in those localities; in this scenario victims of exploitation, forced labor and trafficking persons coexist.
