BACKGROUND BRIEFING
Perupetro - Peruvian national oil firm
Perupetro contracts oil and gas companies to work in Peru. To date, 72% of the Peruvian Amazon has been opened up to companies. Some of these regions are home to vulnerable uncontacted tribes. A loophole in Peruvian law explicitly allows companies to work on their land.

Perupetro has made its position regarding uncontacted indians clear. In an interview on Peruvian TV the chairman, Daniel Saba, said the existence of such tribes is an 'absurd' idea.
