On 13 June 2014 New Scientist reported: The Peruvian Amazon includes some of the most isolated forested regions on the planet, and is home to several uncontacted tribes. It is also the site of widespread contamination from oil spills. Demonstrations and lawsuits by indigenous peoples in the last decade have exposed the failure of oil companies to clean up their Amazonian spills. But only a handful of studies have offered any data on contamination levels. The latest such study may well be the most comprehensive to date. In all, nine pollutants were measured, among them lead, cadmium, and chlorine. The results suggest that the levels of some of the pollutants exceed international standards. Local peoples have long claimed that the oil operations are poisoning them. The issue made international headlines just last month, when several hundred protestors from the Achuar community occupied Peru's largest oilfield. At the time, Carlos Sandi, president of the Federation of Native Communities in the Corrientes River, FECONACO, was quoted saying: 'Almost 80 per cent of our population are sick due to the presence of lead and cadmium in our food and water from the oil contamination.' Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern business systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
