STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR SACRED RAINFOREST (SARAYACU KICHWA COMMUNITY)
Please help protect the sacred ancestral lands of the indigenous Kichwa people in the Amazon Rainforest from Oil Company destruction. We are a traditional people that live in harmony with the huge animal and plant biodiversity that surounds us. Our land has never before been mined, lumbered or exploited and we need your support in keeping it intact for the future generations. Your signature will help us greatly in gaining support for our defense.
Dear President of Ecuador; Pablo Teran, Minister of Energy and Mines; and Officials of the Government,
We know that Ecuador has a biodiversity of culture and nature in the Amazon Rainforest, and that it is the "Lungs of the World". For us it is very sad to know that the Oil Companies with your approval is going to destroy completely the Amazon region, especially Block 23.
It is the moral responsibility of all the inhabitants of this planet to care and protect this place. Many countries do not even have such places and riches that your country Ecuador possesses. We urge you to stop with this killing and massacre that is about to occur to the peoples who live there and the life of the nature that exists in this region. We urge you to respect and uphold the rights of ILO169 guaranteed to indigenous peoples signed by your country.
In hope that our petition is received, we anticipate giving you our congratulations for saving a region that is so vital and important to the whole world.
