There are around 2,200 Matsés living on the Peru-Brazil frontier in the Amazon rainforest.
In 2012, Canadian oil company Pacific Rubiales began to explore for oil on land inhabited by the Matsés and neighboring uncontacted Indians.
The company’s oil block ‘135’ lies directly over an area that has been proposed as a reserve to protect the uncontacted tribes.
Though the Matsés have repeatedly opposed the company’s work on their land, their protests have been ignored.
