A short vignette of Occidental Petroleum’s legacy of polluting the Peruvian Achuar territory. In support of the Achuar’s campaign for justice, Amazon Watch is mobilizing an international campaign to force Occidental Petroleum to fund an environmental cleanup and to compensate affected communities.

Amazon Watch supports Peruvian indigenous organizations challenging oil and gas development projects imposed on their communities and territories without their prior consent in violation of their internationally recognized rights to defend their lands, determine their own development and live according to their own cultures. We seek to promote the national indigenous demand for an end to extractive industry operations within the lands of indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation.
