 Oil in Yasuní National Park

In this article we are going to talk about oil extraction, the amount of space that oil exploitation can be made, its influences, its advantages and disadvantages to the planet and to the human being, we are going to concentrate on data about the Yasuní National Park, taking into account everyone's arguments.

Oil extraction has a great influence on the country's economy in several ways, since it allows us to enter money for a number of barrels, it also leads anyone to start a new business in its surroundings.

The National Assembly authorized 1030 hectares of the Yasuní ITT reserve for oil exploitation, but in February 2020, in a referendum, Ecuadorians voted for the exploitation area to be reduced to 300 hectares, so that the intangible zone is hindered with the in order to protect the territory of indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation.

Oil extraction has several advantages, such as the large amount of energy that it can give us, many derivatives for the industry, it also offers us the possibility of transporting long distances since oil is used as fuel for cars, without stopping aside the large amounts of economic income for the state; At a disadvantage, we can see how the planet is being damaged, thanks to the malfunction of oil extraction factories and contamination by products derived from its processing.

In my opinion, in national parks, including Yasuní ITT Park, we should not exploit it or damage its natural habitat, since it is a reserve that nature gave us and that is full of life, diversity, among others. And although we need oil for various products such as gasoline, plastics, synthetic fabrics, rubbers, rubber and latex, among others, we must look for other types of mechanisms for the production of necessary objects that do not destroy our planet since we are not the only ones living , and the fossil minerals will eventually run out.

Messages about the care for the Yasuní National Park reserve

We must take care of the planet because it is ours and has diversities. If we do not take care of nature one day we will be left without a habitat. Our future depends on what we make this present.
