Another company, the Anglo-French company Perenco, plans to build a pipeline from Block 67 to the granting of Repsol. The pipeline will pass through directly to the Indians' territory.

The Survival last November sent a petition signed by more than forty NGOs, Amazon Watch and Save America's Forests including the three companies to withdraw immediately in the region.

The director of Survival International, Stephen Corry, said today: "How many reasons require oil companies to stay away from isolated indigenous peoples? Denying its existence is an old trick, but unfortunately will be the indigenous and employees of these companies themselves deep in the Amazon who pay the consequences. "
