Investigations will go on and the relevant 'authorities' will go through the motions and the drilling will continue. In my opinion, the investigation is a farce in that case. We have all seen this formula before.

I also feel that people push the 'like' button to approve of the organization, 'Survival International' and all that it is doing including their reporting of the situation. It is not always possible to write a comment on all that you have sentiments/connection to. I do understand your concern - regarding pushing of the 'like' button - but I think that your annoyance is misplaced and put to better use to work against the tragic situation in Peru '~)

We reject Samit's claims that Survival's press release was inaccurate. Any development so close to the Jarawa's reserve will pose a grave danger to such an isolated people. The fact that Barefoot's guests are largely an international clientele who will have stepped off airliners only a few hours previously, and will therefore be carriers of a ... Read Morevariety of infectious diseases from all corners of the globe, hugely increases the risk.

Survival will continue to vigorously oppose Barefoot's resort. To Samit of Barefoot, we say: your clients should quite simply not be there and your resort should be closed.
