Extensive Amazonian Jungle Preservation Proposal by Correa, Ecuadorian President

Brian O'Leary, Ph. D. is working with the Ministry of Energy in Ecuador to get the word out of the possibility of saving Yasuni from the ravages of oil industry. Ecuador's new President, Rafael Correa, has announced that the government would keep the oil in the ground under one of the most precious and extensive Amazonian jungles on Earth if the international community could come up with matching contributions.
This is really amazing in my opinion. Correa says in his proposal that Ecuador would match funds with the contributing international community keeping the oil in the ground and preserving the ecosystem for all time. It would be under the aegis of a trust fund in partnership with the people and government of Ecuador.

When I read about this in Dr. O'leary's site, I wanted to share it. It deeply touched my heart. And consider what a gesture this is, from a poor country, with the potential sacrifice of their short-term revenues. Their willingness to do such a thing to save a significant rainforest is truly an unprecedented step by a government. Don't you see what an opportunity this provides for all of us to team up and set an example across the whole earth.
