On January 15, 2022, Peru suffered one of the most devastating ecological disasters in its history. A recent study estimates that approximately 12,000 barrels of oil were spilled along the Peruvian coast. The following years brought only fleeting responses. The affected areas, to this day, appear abandoned and littered with hundreds of mounds of garbage. Animals infected by the oil are still undergoing recovery treatments. Artisanal fishermen, who depend on the sea for their livelihood, have yet to receive a concrete response from the company REPSOL. Beaches are sporadically closed due to the presence of oil residue still scattered along the Peruvian coast. Time continues to pass, legal responses and environmental recovery proceed at a snail's pace, in the endless wait for a solution. Crude oil is a deadly weapon hidden deep within the Peruvian coastline, waiting for its next victim: the ecosystem.
