Threats to Peru’s uncontacted tribes prompt emergency appeal to Inter-American Commission February 2, 2021 The Watershed Mountains are home to a number of uncontacted peoples, and are just one of the areas still unprotected by the government. © Diego Perez An indigenous organization in Peru has appealed to the Americas’ top human rights body for urgent action to protect six uncontacted tribes’ territories. The emergency appeal comes in the face of renewed threats to the proposed Amazonian reserves, whose legal status has been in limbo for up to 27 years. The government has reactivated logging, oil and gas concessions in these areas, and until the reserves are properly established further concessions are likely to be sold off.
