The Ministry of Culture of Peru gave the go-ahead to a study that recognizes the existence of the Isolated Peoples of Napo Tigre, an Amazonian territory. It is the first step towards the creation of an indigenous reserve, but oil interests seek to block the initiative.
Last July, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture approved a study that recognizes the existence of the Isolated Peoples of Napo Tigre, an Amazonian territory. This is the first step towards the creation of an indigenous reserve in the area due to its ecological and anthropological value as they are uncontacted peoples that need protection. An oil company present in the area seeks to annul the creation of the reserve in court.
In the north of Peru, where it shares the Amazon jungle with Ecuador, there is a region of approximately thirty-five million hectares where more than six hundred thousand people of 30 indigenous nationalities live. There exists a territory where for 19 years they have sought to create the Napo Tigre reserve, with great ecological importance due to biodiversity, but also because they inhabit isolated villages.
