Camisea天然气项目是秘鲁最大的能源开发项目，其经济发展和能源独立之路的前景激发了全国的希望和期望。该项目预计将使秘鲁的国内生产总值提高近一个百分点，并导致二次天然气产品的商业化，为发展国家石化工业创造有利条件。但是，开发秘鲁最大天然气储量（13万亿立方英尺）的16亿美元项目具有巨大的破坏性影响潜力。该项目威胁到脆弱的社区和生态系统，从亚马逊河上游盆地乌鲁班巴河下游河谷，通过安第斯山脉，到秘鲁海岸和秘鲁唯一的海洋保护区-帕拉卡斯国家保护区的缓冲区，这一地区生物多样性极为丰富，是几个土著民族的家园。最后，Camisea项目旨在为秘鲁亚马逊地区开启石油和天然气开发的新时代，这意味着该项目将为未来项目的管理树立先例。对这些问题的关切促使秘鲁和国际上的一个广泛的民间社会联盟寻求影响该项目的管理，主张在该项目获得美国进出口银行和美洲开发银行的资金之前解决关键问题。
The Camisea Natural Gas Project, Peru’s largest energy development project, sparked national hopes and expectations with its promise of economic development and a path toward energy independence. The Project was expected to boost Peru’s GDP by nearly a percentage point, and lead to the commercialization of secondary gas products, generating conditions favourable to developing a national petrochemical industry. But the US$1.6 billion Project to exploit Peru’s largest gas reserve — 13 trillion cubic feet — carried with it significant potential for damaging impacts. The Project threatened vulnerable communities and ecosystems from the lower Urubamba River valley in the upper Amazon basin, a region of extraordinary biodiversity and home to several indigenous peoples, through the Andes, to the Peruvian coast and the buffer zone of the Paracas National Reserve, Peru’s only protected marine area. Finally, the fact that Camisea was intended as the project that would open the Peruvian Amazon to a new era of oil and gas development meant that this Project would set precedents for the management of future projects. Concerns about these issues motivated a broad civil society coalition within Peru and internationally to seek to influence the Project’s management by advocating for the resolution of key problems before it could receive financing from the US Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
