“2008 – one of the last refuges for life in a state of true liberty, on the point of being blasted away by the unlimited ambitions of multinational oil companies. A fact often documented and often carried out. But when will it stop? The utter indifference to the lives of the animals, plants, and native inhabitants continues to cut through the rainforests. The Yasuní is under threat, a natural spot of incalculable ecological value and the dwelling of three groups of indigenous peoples, the Kichwa, Shuar and Waorani. There is no room for indifference or delay; time is on the side of the powerful. Because of this it is essential to support campaigns such as ‘Yasuni Green Gold’, which operate locally in the inalienable task of the building of another possible world.”
