LIKE, SHARE And WIN the conservation of the Amazon!!  Two weeks ago I (Patrick van Wees) went to Amazon in Ecuador. To be precise I went to Yasuni National park, one of the most biodiverse forests in the world in the Amazon. The park has a tremendous variety of tree species, as well as a record number of fauna. But a lot of animals in this area are almost extinct because of massive deforestation, with hundreds of thousands of acres of forest, mangrove area and other natural areas deforested. Ecuador is drilling for oil in this large park, but because the oil is mostly in the Amazon, the oil companies keep gaining Amazonian land. They buy it from communities and and destroy the variety of species that call that land home.

But there is one hopeful aspect: there is a map with the location of the living area of the  indigenous people who already lived there for centuries. This means that it is prohibited to use this land for purposes other than use of indigenous cultures. Great, right!!! But there is one problem with this map, I heard from trusted sources that some people have changed this map and removed some land on the map owned by indigenous people in order to drill for oil. But what happened to these cultural groups? Nobody knows!

The oil presence is so pronounced that when you go to the Amazon by car, you see massive trucks everywhere, huge pipelines along the roads and drills. The road that goes from Quito to the Amazon is perfect because this is road was built for the oil companies in order to transport more oil in larger quantitates.  I heard the drilling while I stayed in an Amazonian community, even though we were quite deep into the Amazon.

I can't change the world with this story, but at least I can raise consciousness of the suffering that is occurring in the Amazon.  If we remain in the dark, there will not be an Ecuadorian Amazon in a few years.  The speed of the oil companies consumption of land everyday is tremendous.

The Amazon is a really important to the world’s ecosystem and one of the most  beautiful places on earth!  How is it possible that something so beautiful can be demolished so easily?
