    The YASUNÍ National Park is one of the most bio-diverse places and last pieces of untouched nature in the world. Yasuni is home to the last indigenous people in Ecuador living in voluntary isolation: the TAGAERI and TAROMENANE and some other indigenous cultures. On May 2007 The national government of Ecuador has stated that it is prepared to leave the Yasuni oil in the ground in return for international compensation;. Drilling will have devastating and irreversible environmental and social impacts destroying the home of the non-contact indigenous people most likely causing their death. Exploitation of the Yasuní will cause mass deforestation and the further production and burning of fossil fuels - the two main causes of climate change. This proposal has the potential to be revolutionary — to become a principal that could help other developing countries across the world save their national treasures without sacrificing economic development. It also asserts a real solution to climate change. This proposal has been presented in different networks, as United Nations, the European parliament and national governments attracting the interest all around the world. But this proposal didn’t get completely into account local voices... The local people and leaders of Yasuni region, exhausted by fighting daily for their rights and usually getting nowhere, decided to reach out to the international community as a way to get their voices heard and influenced in this big debate. Yasuní Green Gold International Campaign (YGG) was entrusted to carry their voices and their struggles to international attention. The YGG has pressure the Ecuadorian government to quit the deadline to the region and negotiate with local and indigenous leader. Is the example that how a local grassroots born campaign can influence in major international debates, as climate change and human rights, and involve people from all over the world.
