STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR SACRED RAINFOREST (SARAYACU KICHWA COMMUNITY)
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.
