"John Manzoni must come here and speak to the elders who have lived where Talisman is drilling for oil. He must understand that there are real problems and the company must recognize and respect our people" – Peas Peas Ayui, FENAP leader
The Achuar of the northern Peruvian Amazon are fighting to keep Canadian oil company Talisman Energy out of their ancestral territory, but the company continues to ignore the Achuar's demands and expand operations. Talisman's "divide and conquer" strategy is heightening tensions and the risk of conflict.
Achuar leaders and elders have responded to this urgent situation, in a last ditch effort to seek peaceful resolution by Achuar elders have invited Talisman CEO John Manzoni to visit their territory and speak directly with Achuar leaders.
Sign the global petition asking Talisman to leave the Achuar in peace and withdraw from their territory, and send a letter to John Manzoni asking him to keep his promise and meet with the Achuar.
TAKE ACTION > AMAZON WATCH - Talisman: Keep Your Promise, Leave the Achuar in Peace!
