Timeline

2009

2009 Father Tamayo reported that "we have stopped 80 per cent of the illegal logging... Last year the government declared a ban on the extraction of logs from several municipalities around Salama. The environmental activists want the wood to be processed locally into furniture and other goods before being shipped to the cities. We're creating a model for how to take advantage of our resources while also protecting them. The communities have to transform the resources, using them in a way that doesn't threaten their very life."

He was together with Manuel Zelaya in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa. Because of the 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis, Father Andrés Tamayo was deprived of Honduran nationality, was expelled from the country and was displaced from his parish in the municipality of Salamá.
