The Cuatro Cuencas thank you for your support 👊
Indigenous leaders went to court to secure their territories
A historic fight for justice:
Last week, 60 communities from the Cuatro Cuencas, Loreto went to court to secure their right to land and reinforce their demand for compensation from the oil industry for years of land exploitation.
A ruling in favor of the communities would secure their ancestral territory, grant them economic compensation and guarantee a future for the new generation.
Moreover, a win in court would represent a beacon of hope for other Peruvian communities fighting for their land rights.
A day in court:
Apus Alfonso Lopez, Federico Díaz, and Aurelio Chino spoke truth to power. They demanded accountability for oil company PlusPetrol and asserted their rights to a healthy environment.
Lawyer Henry Carhuatocto explained the importance of the ruling for land rights in Peru and Latin America.

International solidarity
Allies from around the world stood in solidarity with Loreto. The week was filled with activities in Loreto and Lima, where the Apus and their lawyers interacted with the public, the press, and the judges.
