The Wampis Nation, one of the most organized indigenous peoples in the Peruvian Amazon, is calling out Chile-based oil company GeoPark for putting their communities at risk of the COVID-19 contagion.

GeoPark appears to be violating Peru's national quarantine by continuing to visit communities as part of a divide-and-conquer strategy to fraudulently manufacture consent for oil operations.

Alarmingly, the leadership of the Wampis Nation believes that there are at least two positive COVID-19 cases who were most likely infected by Geopark workers.

These cases could set the path for the Wampis Nation's worst fears. As they noted, "the impact of COVID-19 on the Wampis could be large-scale deaths, given the factors of inequality and the health gap that exists in our communities."
