From Heart of Green:
"The Peruvian government under President Alan Garcia is auctioning off the indigenous peoples’ lands to oil, mining and logging corporations without their consent. Peru has already opened 75% of its Amazon territory to oil exploration. In the last month, Garcia has signed contracts for 15 more oil concessions in the Amazon."

Today there is going to be a peaceful march in downtown Lima (capital city of Peru) in the afternoon. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, but I'll post something as soon as I am better informed!
