Indigenous isolated Nanti could be decimated by thousands of plans to detonate explosive charges and allow hundreds of workers go into their land. © Anon / Survival Peru has approved the controversial expansion of the Camisea gas project in the land of uncontacted Amazonian tribes , despite the international outrage generated by the expansion plans , the resignation of three ministers and conviction of United Nations and other international organizations human rights. The Peruvian Ministry of Culture, to whom the protection of the indigenous population, has approved plans pharaonic oil companies Pluspetrol ( Argentina ) , Hunt Oil ( U.S.) and Repsol ( Spain ) to detonate thousands of loads explosive , drilling exploratory wells and allow the entry of hundreds of workers to the Nahua- Nanti Reserve, located just 100 km from Machu Picchu. The expansion could decimate uncontacted tribes living in the reserve , since any contact between workers and indigenous gas could result in the spread of diseases or epidemics against which the Indians have little immunity. The same Pluspetrol recognizes the devastating impact that the expansion could have. In his Anthropological Contingency Plan Company determines that any workers borne disease could cause prolonged periods of disease, mass death , and in the best , long convalescence .

The project violates the Peruvian national legislation and international law , which require the consent of any project that is carried out on indigenous lands. Last year international protests were developed to stop the spread of Camisea , and more than 131,000 supporters Survival sent a message to President of Peru , Ollanta Humala, urging him to stop the project onshore hydrocarbon of uncontacted Indians . Survival International today presented a list with thousands of signatures gathered in the Embassy of Peru in London. As a result of high impact campaign to stop the expansion by the organization Survival International , local organizations AIDESEP FENAMAD , COMARU , ORAU and others have avoided seismic testing on the banks of rivers and the location of a well has moved out of the land of an isolated tribe . Survival International s director , Stephen Corry, said today: Thirty years ago workers survey the Camisea deposit penetrated deep into the territory of the Nahua people and soon half the tribe was wiped out by influenza and similar diseases. Is that the Peruvian government has learned nothing from history and is willing to risk this happening again for the benefit of a few gas wells ?
