The signatories of the letter express their extreme concern over the decision of the government of Ecuador to expand oil drilling activities within Yasuní National Park, in the pristine area of Blocks 31 and ITT, and consequently call for a halt to the activities being carried out in this area. Signatories: Survival International, World Rainforest Movement (WRM), Consejo Indigenista Misionario (CIMI), independent consultant for isolated indigenous peoples Antenor Vaz, and journalist David Hill.
