As part of a free trade agreement with the US, the native people of peru have lost the rights to their lands so oil companies can explore for more oil.

Much is said of climate change and environmentalism, but corporate sponsored genocide is just as much a part of this equation. There is a price to be paid in blood by the modern world's addiction to oil.
