Oil spills stain Peruvian Amazon

4 March 2016
On 4 March 2016 Scientific American reported:
The Interethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Rainforest, representing the local indigenous peoples, has organized protests and set up a picket outside the Lima headquarters of Petróleos del Perú, the state enterprise they say is responsible for leaks that released 3,000 barrels of oil (about 477,000 liters) in several rivers in the Peruvian Amazon. Representatives of indigenous communities attributed the two accidents that occurred on 25 January and 4 February to a lack of maintenance of the company's NorPeruano Pipeline. Scientific American consulted PETROPERÚ about it, but received no response. The crude, spilled in the Loreto Department in the northeastern part of the country, has contaminated at least 30 kilometers of the Chiriaco River and has spread into Marañon River, one of the main tributaries that feed the Amazon drainage area. The area has large blocks of intact tropical forest and is considered one of the most biodiverse throughout the region, but scientists agree that so far it is impossible to calculate the spill's real impact. 'The Peruvian Amazon is extremely complex and diverse, but it is a part of the world from which we do not know much about,' says Clinton Jenkins, conservation biologist at the Institute of Ecological Research, in São Paulo, Brazil. 'Knowing the biological impacts is difficult because we have very little information of what is there to begin with.'
