Keep Oil Drilling out of the Amazon!

action alert!

Peru has given an enormous gas company approval to search for oil in the pristine Amazon rainforest. We have to take action to save the Amazon before it's too late.

Dear Friends, 

There are only a few places on the planet that are almost completely untouched by modern life. The Amazon rainforest is one of these places: deep in the jungle, there are indigenous tribes that have had little to no contact with any outsiders. But now, Peru has approved exploration by giant oil companies in these previously pristine areas.

Peru has given Repsol, a large multinational oil and gas company, the green light to search for oil in the Amazon rainforest. Repsol plans to conduct 3D seismic tests across a large area and drill at least 21 wells.

All the planned tests and 20 of the wells are located within a proposed reserve for indigenous people. who are highly vulnerable to contact with outsiders. This proposed drilling could be fatal for indigenous tribes and will only benefit outside economic interests. 

Please sign the petition to convince the Peruvian government to halt Repsol's drilling plans!

Thank you for taking action,  Kathleen Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team
