One month before large quake: Over 500 indigenous women protest Ecuador’s contract with Chinese oil company

In Response To: Mother Nature is still restless: Large M7.8 (M7.4) earthquake strikes East Pacific / South America / Ecuador (NaturalWisdom)
Could the quake and this oil contract somehow be related? Is it a message to Ecuadorians to stop their protest?
Over 500 indigenous women protest Ecuador’s contract with Chinese oil company

Last week over 500 indigenous women and their allies came together in Puyo, Ecuador to denounce a contract the government recently signed with Chinese oil corporation Andes Petroleum. Participants from over seven indigenous nationalities took part, leaving their communities in the jungle to march Puyo’s streets and call for the protection of the forest and women defenders of Mother Earth.
Under the contract, the Chinese consortium of companies paid about $80 million for the right to drill in 500,000 acres of pristine rainforest – an area about 1.5 times the size of Los Angeles. These oil blocks represent “essentially the only Amazon in Ecuador that hasn’t been devastated by oil operations,” Adam Zuckerman told the Los Angeles Times.
They are also home to multiple indigenous groups, two of them uncontacted. Another, the Sápara, have been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO for their unique language. But the Sápara people don’t need to be declared valuable by the UN in order for them have a right to their own land. They have been living in and caring for these forests for centuries, and a damaging oil project could be devastating for them.
In 2012, a movement of international allies and fierce organizers from the Sarayaku region of Ecuador won the right to require free, prior, and informed consent before the government can authorize extractive projects on their lands. Years later, indigenous groups are saying the government is doing everything it can to comply with this provision without actually listening to their pleas to keep oil in the ground, dividing communities and violently cracking down on opposition.
