Emergildo Criollo meets with RAN and Amazon Watch in San Francisco.

The RAN office is in high gear right now. Emergildo Criollo just arrived at our San Francisco offices straight from his home in the Ecuador rainforest, and we are prepping for a big visit to Chevron headquarters tomorrow. Emergildo is an Indigenous leader from Ecuador’s rainforest and has traveled to California tell his story to Chevron CEO John Watson, and present a letter to Mr Watson on behalf of the Cofan, Siona, Secoya Indigenous Nations, and the Frente de Defensa de la Amazonia. The question now is will John Watson listen? It’s becoming pretty impossible for him to not listen, thanks to you.
