Petition
Uganda:
Stop criminalizing pipeline protesters!
Dear friends of the rainforests,
Authorities in Uganda are cracking down
on critics of the fossil fuel industry: Nine university students
were arrested, thrown in jail for six nights, and are now hanging in
legal limbo while their trial dates are repeatedly postponed.
Their "crime": speaking out against the
1,445-km East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a massive project
that has no place in the 21st century. The fossil fuel industry
should be winding down, not covering Uganda – including Murchison
Falls National Park – with hundreds of new oil wells.
Please sign our petition and tell the Ugandan public prosecutor
that the international community is watching – and that we stand
behind these courageous young people.

Thanks for being
involved,

Huge
success
Ecuador:
Local people triumph over copper mine
The mountain rainforests of northern
Ecuador are the scene of one of the longest resistance campaigns
against mining in Latin America. For the past 25 years, Rainforest
Rescue has been supporting the affected communities. They have now
won a spectacular victory in court: The environmental permits for
the planned Llurimagua copper mine have been annulled – once and for
all.
