#Indigenous Leader #NemonteNenquimo on Fight to Defend #Ecuador’s Ban on Future #Amazon #OilExtraction
via #DemocracyNow, November 29, 2024
"In Part 2 of our special broadcast, we look at a recent victory for Indigenous communities in Ecuador, where people overwhelmingly voted to approve a referendum last year banning future oil extraction in a biodiverse section of the Amazon’s Yasuní National Park — a historic referendum result that will protect Indigenous Yasuní land from development. But the newly elected president, Daniel Noboa, has said Ecuador is at war with gang violence and that the country is 'not in the same situation as two years ago.' Noboa has said oil from the Yasuní National Park could help fund that war against drug cartels. Environmental activists and Indigenous peoples say they’re concerned about his comments because their victory had been hailed as an example of how to use the democratic process to leave fossil fuels in the ground. 'Amazonian women are at the frontlines of defense,' says Nemonte Nenquimo, an award-winning Waorani leader in the Ecuadorian Amazon who co-founded Amazon Frontlines and the Ceibo Alliance. Her recent piece for The Guardian is headlined 'Ecuador’s president won’t give up on oil drilling in the Amazon. We plan to stop him — again.' Nemonte has just published her new memoir titled We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People. We also speak with her co-author and partner, Mitch Anderson, who is the founder and executive director of Amazon Frontlines and has long worked with Indigenous nations in the Amazon to defend their rights."

Some people in #FortGoodHope #NWT say they're concerned about what #OilExtraction in #NormanWells is doing to the #MackenzieRiver & they want more say in how the project is regulated.
That's what Fort Good Hope leaders told commissioners with The #CanadaEnergyRegulator at an "oral #Indigenous knowledge" hearing on the future of Norman Wells field held in the community last week.
#ImperialOil is seeking permission to drill below the Mackenzie River.
Commissioners with Canada Energy Regulator were in Fort Good Hope last week for a three-day hearing on a proposal by Imperial Oil to use drilling to install new lines under the Mackenzie River and extend its operating license.
This is the narrative of how extra virgin olive oil is produced at a company located in San Giacomo, within the province of Ragusa, Sicily. This oil mill has been pressing olives since 1985.
