Sign the petition to incorporate Bloc 31 in the proposal to keep oil underground.
President
Rafael Correa
For your consideration,
Before the recovery by the state of block 31, we demand that this
region be incorporated into the proposal to maintain the crude oil
underground.
Block 31 has the same reasons for conservation as block 43, ITT
(Ischpingo, Tambococha, Tiputini) and should therefore be incorporated
into the Proposal Yasuní ITT, in effect giving more coherence to the
project. Last year, when the environmental license was given to
Petrobras, you justified it with the argument that it was a matter of
an ancient contract that should be respected for legal reasons. Today,
this argument does not count anymore and it is not justified to exploit
the oil of this block.
Block 31 is a threat to the credibility of the proposal to save the
Yasuní, given that it is a major part of the National Park. For
governments, organizations, and potential donors, the region of the
Yasuní and the presence of this block would be incomprehensible.
The incorporation of these reserves in the model of the Yasuní should
not implicate significant changes in the total compensation, but
instead, it will be a sign of coherence with the proposal to preserve
the Yasuní and respect the people in voluntary isolation.
Attentively,
Map of Bloc 31 and Yasuní national park.
