The Ecuadorian government violated the rights of those groups by allowing oil drilling to go forward inside portions of Yasuni National Park where uncontacted groups are known to inhabit, the court ruled.

#Peru's #Indigenous leaders raise concerns over #OilAndGas projects
The leaders presented evidence of the impact of oil and gas exploration at a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights

BOGOTA, #Colombia — "Indigenous leaders from the #PeruvianAmazon who are calling for the government to stop oil and gas projects in their territory took their case to an international human rights body on Tuesday.
"The leaders presented evidence of the impact of oil and gas exploration at a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. They said the projects violate #IndigenousRights by threatening their #land, #health and #FoodSecurity and are in breach of international obligations that require Indigenous groups to be consulted.
"The Indigenous leaders are represented by the Interethnic Association for the Development of the #PeruvianRainforest, or #AIDESEP. The group argues that the projects also pose risks to #UncontactedIndigenous groups and also noted specific impact on Indigenous women.
"During the meeting, the Peruvian government said it is a democratic state which respects law and guarantees human rights to all its citizens and that it is committed to strengthening it.
"But #JulioCusurichiPalacios, a member of AIDESEP’s Board of Directors from the Madre de Dios region of the Amazon said the government 'have stated things that are not in accordance with what is happening in reality.'
"'The rights of Indigenous peoples are not being respected, the contamination of our rivers and territories continues, there are threats to #uncontacted Indigenous Peoples, more regulations that make environmental standards more flexible, and oil and gas lots continue to be promoted,' he told The Associated Press after the hearing.
"The government denied most of the claims made by the Indigenous groups and did not reply to AP’s requests for comment."

I'm beginning to believe the uncontacted indigenous people who remain isolated from the other 8.23 billion people on the planet have the right idea...

Grande parte das terras dos #indígenas Ayoreo-Totobiegosode foram roubadas e vendidas a pecuaristas, os quais desmatam para pôr gado no lugar da floresta. Isto forçou os indígenas isolados a viverem em fuga.

Peruvian government fails to protect uncontacted indigenous people in the Amazon.
Eusebio Ríos, the vice-president of the regional Indigenous federation Fenamad, which makes up 39 Indigenous groups in Peru’s Madre de Dios and Cusco regions, said on Tuesday: “There are people wounded, dead, missing – we don’t know what’s happening or what has happened.”

“This is irrefutable evidence that many Mashco Piro live in this area, which the government has not only failed to protect, but actually sold off to logging companies.”

:catthinking:
"Uncontacted" you say?
I don't talk often about this, but on my path from my bachelor's degree in computer engineering to my master's in South Asia studies, I did a detour through art, and anthropology.
I remember how my anthropology teacher talked about supposedly "uncontacted" tribes of the Amazon that so-and-so had "found."
The "uncontacted" bit turned out to be hogwash. They were uncontacted only if you ignored all the other folks with whom they had regular contact.
:holdthepain:
I put this into the same category as Columbus "discovering" America.
Journalists... so gullible...
:headache:
#AmazonTribe #AmazonRiver #uncontacted #hogwash #anthropology #discovery #journalism #journalists #gullible #NoSatire
The #uncontacted tribes, and the #forests where they live, are incredibly #vulnerable, fragile,
and strong too
This thought makes me joyful, because true life comes from vulnerability
Thank you #survivalInternational for having protecting them so far

#Uncontacted
"the man is believed to be the only survivor of a group of 6 killed during an attack by farmers in 1995. He was first located in 1996 and has been monitored by Funai ever since.
#Funai has a policy of avoiding contact with #isolatedgroups and has protected his area since the 1990s. Axes, machetes and seeds traditionally planted by #indigenous people have been left for the man to find, Algayer said, but he clearly wants nothing to do with mainstream society."
