KAIROS Concerned About the Expansion of Petroleum Licensing in the Amazon
In response to a call from our partner, Accion Ecologica, KAIROS wrote a letter to the Ambassador of Ecuador, expressing concern about the expansion of petroleum licensing and exploitation in the Amazon, including in ecologically fragile areas and Indigenous territory. The letter was sent on July 16, a date that marked the launch of XI Oil Round, when the eleventh round of petroleum licensing began and was part of a campaign to gather letters of concern from partners around the world.
