As the CEO and board of directors of Chile-based oil company GeoPark met with eight indigenous leaders from the Peruvian Amazon, a security officer provided safety instructions in the event of an earthquake. Little did they know they were about to be struck by a massive quake in the form of Achuar and Wampis who are determined to protect their ancestral territories.

The indigenous leaders had traveled for days via boat, bus, and airplane to raise the profile of their resistance to resource extraction within millions of acres of virgin Amazon rainforest.

Each of the indigenous representatives spoke in turn. They didn't pull any punches. One by one they reiterated their peoples' demand that GeoPark withdraw from a controversial oil concession that overlaps Achuar territory and also includes Wampis communities.
