ACT NOW for Ecuador's Rainforests and Indigenous Nations!

Please support Ecuador's Kichwa villagers, who the Guardian
newspaper reports vow to resist oil prospecting by state-backed company
Petroamazonas at all costs. The Kichwa tribe has said they are ready to
fight to the death to protect their rainforests which cover 70,000
hectares, adjacent and part of Yasuni National Park, and huge additional
Ecuadorean rainforests are threatened by new industrial oil auctions as
well. Industrial development of rainforests for oil in the Amazon has a
long history of destroying ecosystems including fouling water. Tell
President Correa standing, intact old-growth forest ecosystems are a
requirement for local advancement, and local and global ecological
sustainability; and demand the invasion of indigenous nations'
rainforests be halted.
