Didier Porte ne comprend pas Lallement. Pablo Fajardo : "Texaco doit payer pour son crime environnemental en Amazonie" Une BD magistrale sur les ravages de la firme pétrolière Texaco en Amazonie équatorienne. Mounties claim anti-oil activists are a threat to Canada. If you consider yourself part of the “anti-petroleum movement,” you’ve joined ranks with violent individuals who pose a threat to Canadian security, and who warrant close scrutiny from the intelligence wing of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
That’s the main thrust of a “protected/Canadian eyes only” document from January 2014. It was obtained by the French-language Canadian newspaper La Presse. Shawn McCarthy reports, in English, for the Canadian Globe and Mail: In highly charged language that reflects the government’s hostility toward environmental activists, an RCMP intelligence assessment warns that foreign-funded groups are bent on blocking oil sands expansion and pipeline construction, and that the extremists in the movement are willing to resort to violence.
While painting environmental activists as a violent threat — referring specifically to Greenpeace, Tides Canada, and Sierra Club Canada — the report also casts doubt on their motivations. IamMahan.

The dark side of Brazil: Oil giant Petrobras moves into 'deepest Amazon' The Suruwaha are an isolated tribe, highly vulnerable to introduced diseases. © Adriana Huber/Survival Brazilian state oil company Petrobras has started exploring for oil and gas in one of the most isolated parts of the Amazon, endangering several isolated Indian tribes.
Native American groups increasingly at the center of fights over oil and gas. In the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries, European settlers stole a lot of land from Native Americans.
They killed them, they cheated them, and they robbed them of most of the continent. But they made one mistake. Back then good land was fertile land for growing crops. The Great Plains and interior West — dry, dusty, freezing cold in winter and broiling hot in summer — had little to offer. Now, however, the Europeans and their descendants lust for oil and gas to provide electricity, heat, and fuel for internal combustion engines. Exposed: fracking licenses granted in Bushmen's reserve.
Peru repeals official report on threats to uncontacted tribes. Raya, a Nahua elder.
More than half his people were wiped out after their land was opened up for oil exploration, Peru. © Johan Wildhagen Peru’s Prime Minister has announced that his government has scrapped an official report warning of the dangers a controversial gas project poses to uncontacted tribes. It is another sign of the intense pressure from the top of Peru’s government to push ahead with the project. The report was published by the government department responsible for indigenous affairs – the Ministry of Culture – in response to plans to expand the giant Camisea gas project in Peru’s south-east Amazon. The gas project lies in the heart of a reserve created to protect several uncontacted and isolated tribes. The report contains 83 ‘observations’ outlining the dangers the expansion plans pose to the lives of local tribal peoples.

Chevron has been ordered by an Ecuadorian court to pay more than $19 billion in environmental damages, $1 billion more than originally decided, after an Ecuadorian court adjusted the amount on appeal. Over the course of 26 years of oil drilling in Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, U.S. oil giant Chevron deliberately dumped more than 18 billion gallons of toxic wastewater into the rainforest. The contamination devastated the homes of some 30,000 indigenous people and large areas of the rainforest, leaving local people suffering a wave of cancers, miscarriages and birth defects.
