VOICED : Ecuador aprueba explotar el Yasuni

The Yasuní National Park in Ecuador, known for its rich biodiversity, is also home to significant oil reserves. The Ecuadorian Congress has approved oil extraction in the park, a move supported by President Rafael Correa but opposed by indigenous and environmental groups due to potential environmental damage and threats to isolated indigenous communities. Correa's previous plan to avoid extraction in exchange for international funds failed. The government expects significant economic gains from oil extraction, which are intended to alleviate poverty, especially in the Amazon region.
