    ConocoPhillips Oil Projects vs. Indigenous Communities in the Amazon

    May 2006 | Photo Gallery

    CONOCOPHILLIPS in ECUADOR: The Shuar, Achuar, and Kichwa have denounced plans for oil extraction in Blocks 23 and 24 since the Ecuadorian government first awarded the concessions. Instead, they are calling for a plan to permanently protect the vast roadless rainforest region and promote sustainable development. Due to ConocoPhillips’ recent acquisition of Burlington Resources, the company is now the owner and operator of Block 24, and holds a 50% share in Block 23 with Argentine partner CGC.
