I just read your blog and watched the vid. Heriberto must have been a fascinating person to speak to. I have so much admiration for people like him, Amazon Watch, and, of course, the people who are living the struggle on a day-to-day basis. The least we can do is help spread the word.

They are also supported by Amazon Watch and I'm thankful that there are organisations like that that will bring these issues to the public eye. I wrote about meeting a young film-maker there who made a film about the resistance against the oil workers and army moving into the area. So far the resistance has been peaceful and successful but the communities themselves are divided. See the video below. http://www.heatheronhertravels.com/friday-photo-defending-the-rainforest-in-sarayaku-in-ecuador/ When I was in Ecuador I spent a few days in Sarayaku where the community there are among the most vociferous in their resistance to the Oil Exploration in their territory.
