Political power in Peru resides in its congress, as its unpopular president remains cornered by investigations. In a disastrous regional trend, powerful economic interests are launching a new initiative against Indigenous rights and the Amazonian rainforest.

Peru’s Congress is attempting to dismantle the existing system intended to protect Indigenous Peoples in Isolation and Initial Contact (PIACI). This Friday, the it might vote to modify this law, leaving the door open for the genocide of dozens of cultures and the destruction of 13% of the Peruvian Amazon.

Amazon Watch is joining an international movement mobilizing solidarity in this crucial moment. Our Peru team is supporting with advocacy and media strategies to halt this dangerous bill from advancing, including pressuring international actors, such as the government of California. This is a crucial moment to amplify Indigenous communities across the Peruvian Amazon and protect the PIACI Law.
