SummaryDate Reported: 29 Sep 2025Location: PeruOn 15 September, the farming community of Uchuccarcco, in the district of Chamaca, province of Chumbivilcas (Cusco), marked 70 days of indefinite strike action against the mining company Hudbay Peru S.A.C., denouncing breaches of agreement, environmental damage and a lack of genuine willingness to engage in dialogue. The community members maintain that the company's representatives do not have the authority to make decisions and are only prolonging the conflict. They also claim that the company maintains an indifferent attitude and avoids responding to their main complaints: the disappearance of wetlands and springs, territorial demarcation in the face of excessive land fencing, non-compliance with the social fund and development projects, as well as access to employment and procurement for the community. They pointed out that streams and water sources have disappeared since the start of mining operations, which directly affects communal livestock and the health of families.
