Keep the Oil Under the Ground - Protect Ecuador's Yasuní National Park

 

 

Dear friends,

 

In April this year, Ecuador's President Rafael Correa declared: " I have a

problem with the exploitation of an oil field in the middle of the Yasuní

National Park, an Amazon region of great biodiversity and refuge for two

indigenous groups which live in voluntary isolation. We are prepared to

leave alone the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) oil field. This is the

solution preferred by the Ecuadorian government, provided that the

international community and environmental organizations compensate us for at

least 50 % of the profits which we will lose by leaving the oil under the

ground. "

For more than two decades, indigenous people have been fighting to stop oil

exploitation and to save the rest of the tropical Amazon rainforest in

Ecuador. Please, help by adding your signature to this email action.

Many thanks!
