*[Enwl-inf] #YesToYasuni Campaign in Ecuador
ENWL
20 августа народ Эквадора придет на избирательные участки, чтобы проголосовать на общенациональном референдуме, который определит будущее Ясуни. Впервые в истории голосующее население нефтедобывающей страны сможет проголосовать "ЗА" или "ПРОТИВ" изгнания "Большой нефти" со священной территории.
Голосование "За" положит конец разведке нефти в Ясуни и заставит нефтяные компании паковать чемоданы. Голосование “против” означает, что нефтяная промышленность продолжает работать в обычном режиме, используя каждую каплю нефти под лесом, загрязняя реки, нанося вред земле и выбрасывая около 345 миллионов тонн углекислого газа.

Hello,
Goldman Prize winners Nemonte Nenquimo (Ecuador, 2020), Alexandra Narvarez and Alex Lucitante (Ecuador, 2022) have launched a campaign to protect Ecuador's Yasuni rainforest ahead of nation-wide vote on August 20.
See here the social media toolkit and message below to learn more:
From Nemonte Nenquimo:
I’m writing to you with a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect the most biodiverse rainforest on the
planet and deliver a fierce blow to Big Oil.
Yasuni rainforest of Ecuador is my people’s ancestral homeland. It is where my grandmother is buried. It is one of the most ecologically important places on earth, and it also sits atop a billion-barrel sea of crude that the oil industry covets.
On August 20th, the Ecuadorian people will go to the polls to vote on a nation-wide referendum which will determine the future of Yasuni. For the first time in history, the voting population of an oil-producing country will get to vote YES or NO to kicking Big Oil out of a sacred territory.
A "Yes" vote ends oil exploration in Yasuni and sends oil companies packing. A “no” vote means the oil industry continues business as usual, exploiting every drop of oil beneath the forest, polluting the rivers, harming the land, and releasing around 345 million tons of carbon emissions.
This referendum is a tremendous moment for the Ecuadorian people and the world to realize that oil is not the future; it is not worth more than the land it comes from, or the cultures it destroys.
As you can imagine the oil industry is leading a deceitful media campaign in Ecuador to convince the country that oil is the only way forward.
The Indigenous movement and youth climate activists in Ecuador are spearheading the fight to protect the forest of Yasuni from reckless oil drilling. We know that international solidarity in the battle for the Amazon rainforest will help us win this important referendum and fortify our resistance!
The #YesToYasuni campaign is calling for outspoken global solidarity.
Join us for a Global Day of Action on Monday, August 7th so that we can make this vote for the rainforest go VIRAL! Whether it’s sharing a powerful message from Indigenous leaders and youth from our social kit or creating your own message of solidarity, we need all hands on board to create a tidal wave of support for Yasuni!
We’ve defeated the oil industry before and we will defeat them again, and we need you. If you have more ideas, please get in touch with the Amazon Frontlines team: camp...@amazonfrontlines.org.
