"The idea of that anything is allowed for the sake of economic growth and the typically disproportionate, energy needs of the --"developed” world, needs to be reviewed and modified if we want to reach a truly sustainable and equitable development.
It is our responsibility towards the planet as global citizens and it has to be our commitment to the future generations to protect and to conserve Natural Treasures such as Yasuní, UNESCO World Biosphere and a true jewel within the Amazonia.
For that reason the campaign "Yasuni Oro Verde-Yasuni Green Gold" is an excellent opportunity to promote and defend this unequalled reserve and the values inherent to it.
At the same time, this campaign aims to contribute to a broader global debate that will lead to specific actions to protect the many other places threatened by the need to meet the growing energy consumption of a small fraction of the planet’s population".
