[Deuda-QdQ] RV: noticia sobre Repsol

[Beronika]

Hola!

Me ha llegado por otra lista esta info de Repsol. EStá en inglés pero se
entiende bien.
La noticia dice que el gobierno de Perú ha bloqueado los planes de
exploración petrolífera en el Amazonas Peruano (o eso me parece, que estoy
aprendiendo inglés..)

Una buena noticia!!

Peru: Oil Company Blocked Over Uncontacted Tribes

May 31, 2007
Survival International Press Release

The Peruvian government has blocked oil exploration plans in the
Amazon amidst fears for uncontacted tribes living in the area.

Spanish company Repsol YPF had presented an environmental impact
assessment of its plans to explore for oil in the northern Peruvian
Amazon.

But Peru's Energy Ministry has now told Repsol that its assessment
would not be accepted because it failed to address concerns about
uncontacted Indians living in Repsol's concession.

Survival and other NGOs had informed the government that at least two
uncontacted tribes are known to inhabit the region. Repsol must gain
approval from the Ministry before it can proceed any further.

Direct sightings of the Indians are rare, but evidence of their
houses, gardens, household objects, food remains, spears, paths and
footprints have all been found.

In total, there are an estimated 15 different uncontacted tribes in
Peru and all are threatened with extinction due to oil exploration and
illegal logging. 70% of the Peruvian Amazon has now been opened up to
oil prospecting.

Survival International's Director, Stephen Corry, said today, 'This is
an important step in recognizing the existence and extreme
vulnerability of the uncontacted tribes. However, the only way their
rights, lives and health are really going to be guaranteed is by
prohibiting oil companies from working there. This is their land and
international law recognizes that. So should Repsol.'
