            Petition
            Uganda: Stop criminalizing pipeline protesters!
            Dear friends of the rainforests,

            Authorities in Uganda are cracking down on critics of the fossil 
fuel industry: Nine university students were arrested, thrown in jail for 
six nights, and are now hanging in legal limbo while their trial dates are 
repeatedly postponed.

            Their "crime": speaking out against the 1,445-km East African 
Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a massive project that has no place in the 21st 
century. The fossil fuel industry should be winding down, not covering 
Uganda – including Murchison Falls National Park – with hundreds of new oil 
wells.

            Please sign our petition and tell the Ugandan public prosecutor 
that the international community is watching – and that we stand behind 
these courageous young people.  TAKE ACTION

                  Thanks for being involved,

                  John Hayduska

            Ecuador: Local people triumph over copper mine
            The mountain rainforests of northern Ecuador are the scene of 
one of the longest resistance campaigns against mining in Latin America. For 
the past 25 years, Rainforest Rescue has been supporting the affected 
communities. They have now won a spectacular victory in court: The 
environmental permits for the planned Llurimagua copper mine have been 
annulled – once and for all.

                  SUCCESS
