Human rights groups said today they had filed a request with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to protect an indigenous group that lives near where Canadian energy company Petrolifera is exploring for oil.
They hope the commission, part of the Organisation of American States, will recommend setting aside two areas in the Amazon rain forest for the Cacataibo, who the rights groups say are reclusive and avoid contact with outsiders.
The rights groups propose that 140,000 hectares be protected for the group, as areas where they live partially overlap with a 1.2 million square hectares tract of land where Petrolifera has oil exploration rights.
"The tribe should decide if and when it wants contact, otherwise it should be left alone," said Carlos Soria, a lawyer with the Instituto Bien Comun in Peru, one of a half dozen non-governmental organisations behind the filing.
"The filing isn't to stop all oil exploration, just in areas where the tribe has isolated itself," said Soria. He said members of the group could be exposed to deadly diseases from the outside world.
Peru's government is encouraging gas and oil exploration as part of an effort to become energy self-sufficient, but rights groups estimate there are a dozen isolated groups in Peru's Amazon basin.
Petrolifera said its exploration efforts reflect the interests of the government and local groups.
"We've been fully involved in extensive consultations with stakeholders from the start and we will remain so," Richard Gusella, executive chairman of Petrolifera, told Reuters.
Survival International, a group that represents indigenous peoples, said the government should step into the fray and protect the tribe.
"The Peruvian government must intervene now," said Stephen Corry," director of the group.
