Summary
| Description |
Français : Le chef Robinson, l'un des leaders des Amérindiens Cofan en Équateur, photographié devant les torchères de l'exploitation pétrolière qui contamine la rivière de sa communauté. Cet activiste dénonce l'exploitation économique exacerbée de la forêt amazonienne.
English: Chief Robinson, the leader of the Cofan Indians and a strong activist in the suit against Texaco. Photographed in front of the Guanta oilrig, Chief Robinson argues that the oil production has contaminated the river nearby as well as members of his community, who live down stream and several other parts of the region. He feels that « the government tries to convince us that oil is the future of Ecuador. The oil has only brought catastrophe here. We, the Cofan, are unanimous and determined to protect what is left of the forest. All of Mankind needs it. » |
