Over a dozen devastating oil spills have occurred in the northern Peruvian Amazon in 2016, spewing thousands of barrels of oil into Amazonian rivers and affecting local communities. The initial Peruvian government response was to minimize the seriousness of the threat, provoking multiple mobilizations from Indigenous water protectors in different communities. Starting in early September, hundreds of Achuar, Kukama, Urarina, Kichwa and other Indigenous community members blockaded the Mariñón River, demanding a proper cleanup. Only after months of protest and national and international pressure did the government agree to constructive dialogue, sending ministers to the Saramurillo to negotiate directly with leaders and community members. On December 14th, an agreement was finally reached that incorporates many of the communities’'demands, including an independent audit of the causes of pipeline leaks, cleaning up oil pollution, compensating contaminated communities, and engaging in regular dialogue with communities, among others. Tell the Peruvian authorities to implement the agreements reached with Amazonian Indigenous communities to clean up past spills and prevent new ones!
