  1. Este mes de agosto representa una ventana crítica: ahora o nunca

    Salva la Selva está circulando dos peticiones fundamentales en la defensa de los ecosistemas amazónicos, de los derechos humanos, de la justicia climática y de la democracia ambiental en América Latina.

    1. “Brasil: Presidente Lula, use su veto — Detenga la Ley de Devastación”

    Va dirigida al presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, solicitando que vete total o parcialmente el proyecto de ley PL 2159/2021 (conocido como “Ley de Devastación”), que fue aprobada por el Parlamento brasileño el 17 de julio de 2025 y debilita gravemente los permisos y controles ambientales .

    Lula cuenta con un plazo de 15 días hábiles para ejercer su derecho de veto (es decir, hasta el 8 de agosto según las noticias que tenemos), lo que hace que la campaña en este mes esté siendo absolutamente crítica.

    salvalaselva.org/peticion/1293

    2. “Todas las miradas en la Amazonía: exige el fin de la explotación petrolera en el Yasuní ¡ahora!”

    Dirigida a la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador con el objetivo de exigir que ordene que se cumpla el mandato de la consulta popular del 20 de agosto de 2023, que ordenó detener la extracción petrolera en el Bloque 43 y proceder al desmantelamiento de la infraestructura petrolera con urgencia.

    Aunque esa consulta fue vinculante, el gobierno ha propuesto un retraso de más de cinco años, lo cual contraviene la resolución constitucional que exige una ejecución en hasta un año .

    Necesitamos que esta petición alcance y movilice al máximo durante este mes de agosto, para ejercer presión a punto de cumplirse dos años de la consulta popular en defensa del Yasuní.

  5. #Indigenous Leader #NemonteNenquimo on Fight to Defend #Ecuador’s Ban on Future #Amazon #OilExtraction

    via #DemocracyNow, November 29, 2024

    "In Part 2 of our special broadcast, we look at a recent victory for Indigenous communities in Ecuador, where people overwhelmingly voted to approve a referendum last year banning future oil extraction in a biodiverse section of the Amazon’s Yasuní National Park — a historic referendum result that will protect Indigenous Yasuní land from development. But the newly elected president, Daniel Noboa, has said Ecuador is at war with gang violence and that the country is 'not in the same situation as two years ago.' Noboa has said oil from the Yasuní National Park could help fund that war against drug cartels. Environmental activists and Indigenous peoples say they’re concerned about his comments because their victory had been hailed as an example of how to use the democratic process to leave fossil fuels in the ground. 'Amazonian women are at the frontlines of defense,' says Nemonte Nenquimo, an award-winning Waorani leader in the Ecuadorian Amazon who co-founded Amazon Frontlines and the Ceibo Alliance. Her recent piece for The Guardian is headlined 'Ecuador’s president won’t give up on oil drilling in the Amazon. We plan to stop him — again.' Nemonte has just published her new memoir titled We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People. We also speak with her co-author and partner, Mitch Anderson, who is the founder and executive director of Amazon Frontlines and has long worked with Indigenous nations in the Amazon to defend their rights."

  6. #Yasuní: Das Erdöl muss im Boden bleiben!

    Vor einem Jahr hat das ecuadorianische Volk dafür gestimmt, das #Erdöl in einem Teil des Yasuni-Nationalparks im Amazonas-Regenwald zu belassen. Doch die Regierung versucht, die Entscheidung um viele Jahre hinauszuzögern.
    Das Verfassungsgericht von #Ecuador muss diese verbindliche Entscheidung durchsetzen und die Regierung zwingen, sich an das Gesetz zu halten!

  7. Yasuní – ein internationales Beispiel für das Ende der Ölförderung

    Heute vor genau einem Jahr, am 20. August 2023, hat die Volksbefragung für den Stopp der #Ölförderung im #Yasuní-Nationalpark gewonnen. 👇 🧵

  8. In the heart of the #Amazon, this pristine #wilderness shows nature’s resilience nationalgeographic.com/animals

    "Amid the din of tragic tales of environmental degradation in the Amazon, there are other, quieter but no less compelling stories testifying to the sheer power of nature to thrive when left untouched. Such is the case of the #NapoRiver, which flows along the north of #Ecuador’s #Yasuní National Park... it shows how #biodiversity can thrive when humans don’t interfere"

  9. The people of #Ecuador just made #ClimateJustice history. The world can follow

    Voters won a huge battle with the #OilIndustry – proving that we can’t save the planet without robust democracy

    by #StevenDonziger, August 31, 2023

    "Days ago, voters in Ecuador approved a total ban on oil drilling in protected land in the #Amazon, a 2.5m-acre tract in the #Yasuní national park that might be the world’s most important #biodiversity hotspot. The area is a Unesco-designated biosphere reserve and home to two non-contacted #Indigenous groups. This could be a major step forward for the entire global climate justice movement in ways that are not yet apparent.

    "This vote is important not only for Ecuador and for the Indigenous peoples in the Yasuní, who now have hope of living in peace in perpetuity. It is also a potential model for how we can use the democratic process around the world to help slow or even stop the expansion of fossil fuels to the benefit of billions of people.

    "The Yasuní referendum proves that real democracy that respects the popular will can be a powerful tool for transitioning to a sustainable future. Ecuador’s state oil company, #Petroecuador, had been producing nearly 60,000 barrels a day in the Yasuní. It now must figure out how to dismantle its entire operation and go home. When in history has a popular vote ever forced an oil company to cease active drilling? Never.

    "The Yasuní vote was not the result of a business decision made in a boardroom or government office. It was the product of two decades of #grassroots organizing by citizens and #activists like you and me. I know because I have been to Ecuador more than 250 times to work on a historic pollution case against #Chevron on behalf of the Indigenous people there. Many of the same Indigenous leaders and activists who helped fight Chevron organized the Yasuní vote.

    "At the same time, the vote underscores how important it is to protect our increasingly fragile democracy. Without a robust democracy that allows citizens to place issues of critical importance on the ballot without the intermediation of elites, the Yasuní referendum never would have happened.

    "The flipside is that powerful #OilAndGas companies understand the threat a real citizen-based democracy poses to their power. They fear a society where citizens can put referendums on the ballot without the approval of business leaders. Those of us in the climate movement often can’t even stop to focus on the connection between democracy and climate justice because we’re so focused on dealing with the immediate crises taking place before our eyes, such as the Maui fire.

    "In the United States, it is not broadly known that the #FossilFuel industry quietly funds a national lobbying campaign that has introduced draconian #antiprotest bills in at least 18 states. These laws threaten anyone #protesting at an oil or gas facility with huge fines and serious prison sentences; some states even impose criminal liabilities on non-profit advocacy groups that support the protesters. These are really laws of intimidation designed to stop protest before it happens. And they are also manifesting in other countries including #Australia, the #UnitedKingdom and #Germany.

    "As a result, many Americans who have committed #peaceful acts of non-violent #CivilDisobedience – central to the birth of our country and a cornerstone of our political tradition – now face decades in prison. In Atlanta, #Georgia, 42 people have been charged by prosecutors with 'domestic terrorism' for trying to save the city’s last green canopy in the #WeelauneeForest. Local police are trying to raze part of the forest to build a military-style police training academy, colloquially called “#CopCity”, that already resulted in the first police killing of a climate activist in US history. (The police have said that the activist, Manuel Paez #Terán, was used a weapon; activists dispute that claim.)

    "The Atlanta cases represent a frightening escalation of attacks on #FreeSpeech and protest in the US. None of those charged – whom authorities accused mainly of vandalism and arson – committed a direct act of violence against another person. Nobody was injured other than the activist shot and killed by police while sitting in the forest.

    "That this is happening in a city considered to be one of the cradles of the American civil rights movement shows just how entwined corporate and police power have become in their efforts to erode democratic rights.

    "The prosecutions in Georgia are also occurring in a broader context where the right to vote has been seriously impaired. Voter suppression is now a regular feature in many US states, with ludicrous laws being passed to throw out votes. In this short century, two presidents have taken office in the US who did not win the popular vote. Votes are constantly thrown out for the thinnest of reasons, as journalists such as Greg Palast have meticulously documented.

    On top of these threats to democracy at the state level, the US #supremecourt and its unelected, mostly #FarRight justices are weakening both our democracy and its ability to regulate the fossil fuel industry. The court has consistently approved measures like voter ID laws and felon disenfranchisement that make it more difficult for historically marginalized groups to vote. It has also, of late, decided its role is to strike down popular legislation, so who knows what they’d do to a popularly won ban on oil drilling.

    "I am an #EnvironmentalJustice and #HumanRights lawyer, but one reason I spend significant time focused on issues of democracy is because I simply cannot do my work if our political system does not allow the political space to advocate freely. After I helped Indigenous peoples win a major pollution case in Ecuador, I was detained for almost three years in the US after being targeted with the nation’s first-ever corporate prosecution. My own case is a reminder that the normal rules of democracy can easily be suspended when entrenched economic interests face a serious enough threat to their bottom line.

    "As I write this, a heat dome in the US sits over the entire midwest and is affecting 100 million people. Fires have destroyed millions of acres of land. A tropical storm just smacked southern California for the first time, and the historic town of Lahaina in Hawaii burned to the ground with hundreds of people still unaccounted for. In the meantime, the oil industry is reporting record profits, creating enormous incentives for a small group of powerful shareholders to maintain their power by shrinking our democratic space.

    What the referendum in Ecuador teaches us is that democratic processes when coupled with strong grassroots organizing can produce startlingly effective results. Taking a cue from our friends in that brave country, the next major move for the climate justice movement could be to launch a national campaign to put the simple question presented in Ecuador before the American people in every state that allows citizens to place their own questions on the ballot. The question is whether we can vote to end the destruction of our planet by the burning of fossil fuels.

    "It is clear we cannot trust either of the two major US political parties – both of which mostly support fossil fuel expansion – to adequately address this crisis. We simply cannot save the planet without first protecting and strengthening our democracy."

  10. Der #Yasuni Nationalpark im #Regenwald #Ecuador|s wird nun definitiv geschützt. Das ist das Ergebnis eines aktuellen Referendums dort.
    Vor 2008 gab es bereits Bemühungen für ein Schutzgebiet. Ecuador wollte auf die #Ölförderung verzichten, wenn die int. Gemeinschaft 50% der zu erwartenden Gewinne zahlte. 👍 Daraus wurde nichts, auch "dank" #FDP und Dirk #Niebel im #Entwicklungshilfeministerium.
    Jetzt ist der Durchbruch geschafft!

  11. Citizens of #Ecuador voted this week to halt the development of oil drilling in the #Yasuní national park in the #Amazon, the Guardian reported.

    In what Climate Home News described as a “first of its kind” referendum, the Ecuadorian public voted 59%-41% to #ban #oil #exploitation in “one of the largest biodiversity hotspots on the planet”, which is “home to Indigenous people in voluntary isolation”.

    OIL STAY PUT: The result will require #Petroecuador, Ecuador’s state-owned oil company, to close all of its active oil wells and remove all infrastructure from a portion of the national park within a year, reported Axios.

    Petroecuador produces nearly 60,000 barrels a day from its current operations in the park, noted the Hill.

    The advocacy group Amazon Watch said the decision would “permanently keep an estimated 1bn barrels of oil in the ground”.

    SETTING AN EXAMPLE

    The Spanish-language online magazine Climática reported that ethnic groups #Waorani, #Kichwa and #Shuar considered the referendum a victory and campaigners said that it was the first time Ecuador had “decided to defend life and leave the oil in the ground”.

    Brazil’s civil-society organisations said they expected their country to follow Ecuador’s example, Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo reported.

  12. #Ölförderung im #Amazonas abgewählt

    Die Mehrheit der Menschen in #Ecuador stimmt für den Schutz des #Yasuní-Nationalparks. Es ist ein wegweisendes Votum – nicht nur für die Indigenen.

    Alicia Cawiya comes from the Waorani community of Ñoneno, one of the most remote communities in Ecuador and has resisted oil exploitation for many years. Her grandmother, Iteca, was a feared Waorani warrior.

    When Cawiya was a child, she was sent to be raised by missionaries, who were tasked with "civilizing the barbarians." Her grandmother later carried her back into the jungle.

    On October 3, 2013, the Constituent Assembly of Ecuador met in Quito to discuss the Yasuni-ITT plan. Cawiya was invited to participate as Vice President of the Waorani Nation of Ecuador, and was expected to read the script handed to her by her President, Chief Moi Enomenga.

    The speech was about oil exploration in her homeland at the head of the Amazon River. When Cawiya stood up to speak, she challenged the president and government and made her own speech, denouncing oil companies and speaking in defense of her people.

    After her speech, Cawiya received death threats, though this didn't deter her activism.

    Today Huella continues to defend her community as leader of the Waorani
    Nationality of Ecuador.

  16. Heute entscheiden die Ecuadorianer*innen, ob das Öl in Yasuní, einem der wichtigsten Naturschutzgebiete im Amazonas, im Boden bleibt oder nicht.
    Neben den vorgezogenen Präsidentschaftswahlen sind die ecuadorianischen Bürgerinnen und Bürger aufgerufen, sich auch an der Volksabstimmung zu beteiligen, mit der ein JA zum Stopp der Erdölförderung mitten im Yasuní-Nationalpark gefordert wird.
