The Matses (Cat People)

By: Danielle Lavallee and Gemma Lombardozzi

Problem The Problem is that the Matses

are endangered tribe of Peru located in the Amazon Rainforest.

Problem An oil company wants to exploit

the area which has been home to the Matses for hundreds of year.

Problem The Matses are getting a sickness

known as hepatis. This is the leading cause of death …

Problem with mortality rates of over ten

percent per year in some villages due to lack of availability of clean water.

Solution Our solution is to write letters to

the oil companies and tell them how we feel about them exploiting the Matses home.

Solution We can protest against the oil

companies.

Solution And as for the them getting sick

we will send over nurses and doctors to give them vaccines.
