Thursday,
Ecuador accepted the building of drilling machines in the Yasuni National Park.
This place, located in the east of the state, include one of the best
biodiversity in the world.
The
government of Ecuador followed the wish of the président Correa which said two months
ago that Ecuador should exploit its rich underground. This area was one of the last
saved areas of the Amazon. These reserves are now open for oil exploitation.
In the Park
we can find a lot of animal species like amphibian or arthropod. Furthermore it could damage some people who
are living in the forest.
But an
international run-up of contest is growing. According to Reuters, almost 700 000
people have signed to get a referendum about this decision.
It’s why
the author wonders how our children will be able to understand our choices and
our foolishness about big deal which is our environment and future of the Earth.
Making money seems to be much more important.
How bad is it going to get?

ReplyDeleteThe balance between the exploitation of resourcrs and economy is always a problem for most of the countries around the world. Although the change to environment by human beings starts from one factor, it will change the whole circumstance one day and lead to bad effects. So the government is supposed to think twice before drilling both for themselves and for offsprings.

ReplyDeleteHello, Corentin.
I agree with you that people are too focused on making money out of their resources and pay less attention to the result it will cause to the environment. I think that before making decision, they need to discuss with some experts from various fields such as environmental biolgists to make less harm to their land and to their offsprings.

ReplyDeleteNice to see you on blog.
I think it is really important for us to protect our environment but at the same time we should come up with some ideas about how to develope our economy without doing harm to the nature especially for developing countries which are dependent on natural resources to make money. Sometimes it is really hard, or impossible for some countries to pay more attention to global environment or issues that will have a negative influence on their offsprings because their people now are still struggle for shelters and sufficient food.

ReplyDeleteTo increase its economy, a country need to take decisions, sometimes against environment.
But if the most powerful countries in the world were so worried about nature, they could help poor countries to increase their economy and their standard of living without polluting.
However they leave it, and keep their money, to earn more and more without thinking to the Earth.
