21JUL22- "The actor/activist Leonardo DiCaprio spoke this Thursday, July 21, through social networks about the rights of nature that could be violated by mining in the Íntag Valley. Through his publication, DiCaprio points out that the rights of nature in Íntag "are in the hands of the Imbabura Provincial Court of Justice."
"Today, both human rights and the rights of nature are in the hands of the provincial court in Ecuador as they determine the future of the Intag Valley. Local communities are asking the provincial court to rule against mining , which would damage this ecosystem," the actor wrote.
Yesterday, the hearing for the violation of the rights of nature and lack of Environmental Consultation took place in Íntag, one of the most biodiverse places in Ecuador. In addition, the activist also mentioned that "Ecuador's Intag Valley is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. Home to the long-nosed harlequin toad that was once thought to be extinct, the court hearing will determine the future of this species."
Around 10:00 a.m., citizens gathered outside the Imbabura Provincial Court to press the appeal of the Protection Action in the case, which was presented by the Junín, C Chalguayaco Alto, Cerro Pelado, Barcelona communities of the Intag Valley. These communities could be the most affected by the mining project called Llurimagua, in Cotacachi Canton. It is mentioned that several endangered species residing in the Íntag Valley will lose their homes if the mining project is approved . As well as entire communities will have to be relocated." -

MON 06OCT25 #ParoDay15#Ecuador #ParoNacional2025 #PUYO The community of Puyo, today marched against the government of Daniel Noboa. Strong repression and arrogance of the authorities is causing more and more sectors to join the National Unemployment protests. Today marks 15 days of protests." -
SUN 05OCT25 (11:03) #ParoDay14 #Quito #Ecuador Pres Noboa: "No one can come and take by force the capital of all Ecuadorians.
To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
