The area in question is known as the sacred headwaters of the upper Amazon and spans some 30 million hectares in Ecuador and Peru.Oil extraction in the Amazon has been linked with serious environmental problems
Right now this is a pristine area, with few roads. The indigenous people have title to these lands and in the area several tribes are living in voluntary isolation. Campaigners fear that if the oil blocks are sold it will see new roads built, which will lead to illegal logging, deforestation and poor outcomes for the residents of the region.
"In addition there are about $6bn in hidden debt in these oil for loan deals between PetroChina and Petroecuador which Ecuador is paying in barrels of oil." Indigenous leaders here are pressing for a moratorium on drilling - they say the oil should stay in the ground.
Time the UN was closed down.
