Peruvian Indians Fight to Save the Rain Forest

Image...
Leaders of different Peruvian Indian tribes have joined together to protest against the government as it plans to sell 75% of the rain forest to oil, gas, and mining companies.



"Some groups have already begun the battle. Protests have turned deadly, with scores of clashes and rallies erupting across the country this year. Oil operations and airports were besieged and shut down, culminating in a mass demonstration of more than 3,000 Indians, mainly from the Awajun tribe, blockading a road in the sweltering jungle town of Bagua in June. More than 30 people were killed, including 20 policemen, after special forces, airlifted to the scene, opened fire on the protesters.'

    Haven't we already taken enough from the Indians?
    I feel so much sympathy for them that is their home, their land, their life and we are taking it from them without anything in return ecept strip malls, airports, and oil rigs.
    More bloodshed and lost tears over something like oil and economic greed. Worst yet is not only the Native Peruvians but all the wildlife their seeking shelter will either perish or diminish greatly, effecting the whole rainforest. This is a tragedy.
