Ecuador electorate hands double victory for CDR

[Tom Goreau]

In yesterday’s election the Ecuadorian electorate voted nearly 60-40 to ban oil mining in the Amazon Basin Yasuni Rainforest Reserve, the most species rich habitat in the entire world, thus protecting its biomass from destruction as well as preventing new sources of fossil fuels. They also voted to ban metal mining in critical biodiverse areas of the Andes.

The vote to protect biomass was nearly twice that of the leading Presidential candidate!

 

This suggests that most people support environmental protection regardless of, or despite politics.

 

Environmental (and climate) protection affects everyone, and needs to avoid association with divisive political or religious groups that would distort it for their own control agendas.
