Significance
Under pressure from growing indigenous militancy, the government is taking belated steps to meet demands for better protection, including steps to stem the flow of extractive industries and migrants into the region.
Impacts
Further conflicts, similar to that in Bagua in 2009, are highly likely.
The government in Lima is likely to resist conceding indigenous autonomies.
Debate over the treatment of indigenous peoples in Peru will gain international resonance.
