"Representatives from one hundred indigenous communities in northern Peru have said they will not allow Brazilian company Petrobras to invade their land to explore for oil.
Those potentially affected include thousands of Kichwas and Secoya Indians, as well as two of the world’s last uncontacted tribes.
‘We are not going to give our territories away,’ the leader of a local indigenous organisation, OISPE, was reported to have said. ‘We know what happened to the Achuar and the extreme dangers posed to their health by oil exploration on their land. We refuse to live like that.’"
