“The Yasuní Natural Park is one of the world’s most diverse nature reserves. The hundreds of animal and plant species which inhabit the Park interact together, allowing the successful functioning of ecological communities. These communities exist in a unique ecosystem in constant evolution which not only maintains local biodiversity but is also of vital importance for the entire planet’s ecology. Every single individual of each species of the Yasuní, (including our own species) depends on, to survive, the successful operation of the ecosystem which they themselves shape. The preservation of these privileged ecosystems and their species is a challenge and an obligation for all of humanity. As Researcher for the Centre of Ecological Investigation and Forestry Applications in Barcelona, I consider it not a duty but a privilege to join the cause in the defence, protection and conservation of the precious biological diversity of the Yasuní.”
