In Peru, a new “Genocide Bill” would devastate the country’s uncontacted tribes if it’s approvedDear Jack,

Deep in the Amazon rainforest, straddling the borders of Peru, Brazil and
Bolivia, the Uncontacted Frontier is home to more uncontacted tribes than anywhere else
on Earth .

Where their lands are protected and rights respected, they thrive – but now a
terrible shadow hangs over them.

In Peru, a new “Genocide Bill”, devised and promoted by members of Congress with
links to the powerful oil and gas industry, would devastate the country’s
uncontacted tribes if it’s approved . It would:

• make it possible to cancel the official recognition of any uncontacted tribe’s
existence
• scrap already-established Indigenous reserves for uncontacted and
recently-contacted tribes
• open the territories of uncontacted tribes to oil and gas drilling, logging
and mining
• block the creation of desperately-needed reserves for uncontacted tribes whose
territories currently have no protection.

Their territories would be wide open for logging, mining and oil drilling. And
if past experience is anything to go by, this is likely to result in forced contact, violence, catastrophic disease and
death .

For years, we’ve been campaigning alongside Indigenous organizations in Peru for
uncontacted tribes’ survival and rights. But now, all that’s been achieved hangs
in the balance.
