Yes to Yasuni

Yes to Yasuni - an episode of Rising Clyde with host Iain Bruce

This year the people of Ecuador struck a major blow for climate justice, by voting to leave the oil in the soil beneath the Yasuní National Park.

We talk to one of the people who made that victory possible, Leonidas Iza, president of the main Indigenous organisation, CONAIE, who visited Scotland in July to promote the Yasuni campaign. 

He discusses the challenges ahead, the need to link up with other anti-mining and anti-extractive struggles, and the lessons for climate justice globally.
