Sign petition of the Huaorani:The whole Yasuni must be left alone
Please sign this petition from the group Ome Yasuni, a grassroots alliance of indigenous people of the Huaorani. They have lived throughout the ages in the critical and vast Yasuni area, a large part of the Amazon rainforest. Many of the Huaorani are in self-imposed isolation from the world, guardians of the forests, remnants of the Huaorani who are keeping their ancient way of life and traditions, their bank of herbal knowledge, the intact forest itself. The Ecuadorian government is talking about protecting a corner of this land (called the ITT) from oil drilling but NO! The whole Yasuni must be left alone. It is their ancestral home and our birthright as well, and that of our descendants too. Here is the link to the petition addressing the Ecuadorian president:
