DESCRIPTION:Writer Michelle Cordova of La Oferta Newspaper and boardmember of San Jose 
 Peace & Justice Center speaks on the recent news of selling the Amazon to 
 Chinese oil companies in Ecuador.\n\nDescription of Talk:\nEcuador is the 
 most biodiverse nation in the world. The Amazon rainforest is home to nine 
 different native nationalities, some of whom have no contact with 
 civilization. They have taught Ecuadorians the importance of nature, and 
 are the reason why Ecuador became the first country in the world to 
 recognize the law of the Rights of Nature or Ecosystem Rights.\n\nHowever 
 now the Ecuadorian government is promoting five mega mining projects and is 
 planning the auction off 3 million hectares or half of the rainforest (one 
 third of the country) to Chinese oil firms that will devastate the 
 environment and native communities.Seven nationalities in the Ecuadorian 
 Amazon have issued a declaration denouncing the proposed auction while 
 neighbor countries are declaring an environmental state of 
 emergency.\n\nSuggested Donation $5-10 (no one turned away for lack of 
 funds)\n\nSponsored by San Jose Peace and Justice Center\n
