#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."

The Ecuadorian government must stop drilling in the super-diverse Yasuní reserve TODAY to comply with a ground-breaking popular referendum to end oil extraction last year. But it looks like the government will blow past this deadline, and Indigenous allies in Ecuador are planning a massive press conference to demand answers. They need half a million signatures to increase pressure on the president.
Will you join me in supporting their call to end drilling here?

"#Referendum in #Ecuador: Ölförderung im Amazonas abgewählt

Die Mehrheit der Menschen in Ecuador stimmt für den Schutz des #YasuníNationalpark|s. Es ist ein wegweisendes #Votum – nicht nur für die #Indigene|n."

'In een bindend referendum hebben de kiezers in Ecuador olieboringen in Yasuní National Park verworpen. De uitkomst betekent dat de oliewinning in dit beschermde deel van de Amazone wordt stopgezet.'

#Undefined status of the western limits of the #YasuníNationalPark & lack of #LandTitles for #native inhabitants have provoked #conflicts - affected by #oil drilling.
