Last week, we asked our global network to join us in urging China not to drill in the Amazon. Thousands of you responded. Thank you!
Now we need your support to stand up to Chinese state-owned oil company Andes Petroleum, which is targeting the rainforest home of the Sápara and the Kichwa of Sarayaku. China is also considering financing drilling in Yasuni-ITT, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet and the home of Ecuador’s last communities living in voluntary isolation.
