The Yasuni National Park is one of
the most biologically diverse forests on the planet. It is home
to the Huaorani and some of the last indigenous peoples still
living in isolation in the Amazon. But their ancestral lands
sit on top of Ecuador's largest undeveloped oil reserves. At
the end of 2007, the government of President Rafael Correa made
an unprecedented proposal: Ecuador will not allow extraction
of the oil fields in Yasuni if the world community can create
a compensation trust to leave the oil permanently in the ground
and fund Ecuador's sustainable development into the future. This
book offers a simple message to the world: close the region to
the black gold of oil exploration and instead acknowledge that
Yasuni's value is priceless, and protect it and its people-without
condition.
