6 Monitoring Impacts of Hydrocarbon Exploration in Sensitive Terrestrial EcosystemsPerspectives from Block 78, Peru
In 1996, Conservation International and Mobil Oil Corporation entered into a partnership to explore ways of improving “best practices” for energy development in sensitive terrestrial ecosystems. This chapter discusses a project known by its Spanish acronym, EISA, aimed at developing an ecosystem-based ecological and social impact monitoring system for oil exploration activities in what is known as Block 78, a rain forest area of 1.5 million hectares superimposed on the ecosystem of the Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone.
