VOICED : Explotacion en el Parque Yasuni

Ecuador's President Rafael Correa announced the decision to begin oil exploitation in the Yasuní National Park after a failed international compensation plan. The park, known for its rich biodiversity, holds significant oil reserves. Correa's 2007 proposal to leave the oil underground in exchange for international financial support did not meet its goals, receiving less than 1% of the expected funds. Despite protests, Correa assured that oil extraction would be limited to less than 1% of the park's area.
