Four oil companies reportedly exploring near Peru's Titicaca lake

Reportedly, four oil companies are currently exploring in the areas nearby the Titicaca Lake National Reserve.
On April 16th, Peru-Petro signed an agreement granting the blocks 155 and 156 in concession for exploration, located in the Puno provinces of Azángaro, San Antonio de Putina, Huancané, Moho, El Collao and Chucuito.
The granting generated protests among the authorities and local organizations, since they think that oil exploitation would harm the ecosystem.
According to an article printed today in El Comercio, the Bolivian government also opposes to this exploitation since there is a bilateral treat that bans this kind of activities unless they have previously been consulted to both countries.
But those are not the only one blocks open to exploration. Back in 2005 and 2007 Perú-Petro granted in concession the blocks 105 and 141.
The areas are very close to the lake, and Puno population has not been appropriately informed regarding this matter.
