Yasuní Green Gold's book shows the human richness as well as biodiversity of the Amazon region of Orellana in Ecuador. It has been published by the local municipality with the cooperation pf Movement Idun, Iwith.org beneficiary, in order to gather resources to alert to the negative consequences of the oil industry in the Ecuadorian jungle.

The tour across Europe, where we could get to know the real problems of Yasuní people were e.g. financed with these funds. We also expressed to the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, our support for the project that he had proposed to the international community last year. He made an innovative proposal, requesting financial support to fund alternative productive activities, and thus to help Ecuador to become independent of oil companies. They set December 2008 as an ultimatum for the government to express its support.

The Yasuni is one of the most bio-diverse zones on the planet and home of the last indigenous groups that have no contact with the outside world. Yasuní is in danger because oil companies are desperate to exploit their territory. The most shocking is that the destruction of this UNESCO reservation will be made to meet only 5 days of global consumption of oil.

On the occasion of this year’s World Book Day help Yasuní purchasing their book.
