Ecuador To Sell A Third Of Its Amazon Rainforest To Chinese Oil Companies

"Ecuador is planning to auction off three million of the country's 8.1 million hectares of pristine Amazonian rainforest to Chinese oil companies...

"The report comes as oil pollution forced neighboring Peru to declare an environmental state of emergency in its northern Amazon rainforest.

Ecuador owed China more than $7 billion — more than a tenth of its GDP — as of last summer."

DOES YOUR COUNTRY HAVE 'NATIONAL PARKS? CHANCES ARE, THEY HAVE LOTS OF TREES, OIL AND MINERALS IN THEM.

WHEN YOUR COUNTRY IS CASH POOR AND OWES TONS OF MONEY TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES, THOSE 'PARKS' ARE SOLD OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN AFRICA AND NOW SLOWLY HAPPENING IN SOUTH AMERICA.
