債務国の債務帳消しキャンペーンネットワーク・ジュビリーサウスが国内環境NGOに政治的圧力をかけているエクアドル大統領に緊急要請文を送るよう訴えている。NGO登録を取り消されたアクシオン・エコロヒカはジュビリーサウスのメンバー団体であり、これまで乱開発とたたかい、債務問題では北こそ南に負債を負っている」というエコロジカル債務（環境債務・生態系債務）の概念を中心的に主張してきた団体でもある。以下呼びかけ文：（日刊ベリタ編集部）
債務国の債務帳消しキャンペーンネットワーク・ジュビリーサウスからの緊急の依頼です。下の要請文をコピーペースト、署名の上、エクアドルのコレア大統領宛直接送ってください。

ジュビリーサウスのメンバー団体でもある、エクアドルのAccion Ecologoca(アクシオン・エコロヒカ、英語名Ecologoical
Action)が、なんとコレア政権から「活動が設立趣旨にあっていない」という理由でＮＧＯ登録を取り消されてしまいました。
アクシオン・エコロヒカはこの20年に渡り、エクアドルを襲うさまざまな乱開発と闘ってきた団体です。債務の分野では、「過去にさかのぼり、北が南から奪い去った天然資源、自分たちの利益のためにもたらした乱開発の傷跡の再生、現在のＣＯ２の森林による吸収量などを総合すると、北こそ南に負債を負っている」というエコロジカル債務（環境債務・生態系債務）の概念を中心的に主張してきた団体でもあります。
コレア政権は不公正な債務の返済停止やヤスニ国立公園の石油開発の保留など、社会運動の側からの期待される政策が多い一方で、銅山開発にはゴーサインを出すなど、彼の政権の先住民重視・環境重視の建前を疑問視する声もあります。
今回の措置も、アクシオン・エコロヒカが鉱山開発に強固に反対しているからではないか、と思われます。ただ、これまでの政権よりは人々の声に耳を傾けると信じたいです。
どうか、抗議文例の下の”Signature”のところにご自分の名前を書いて、（あるいは書ける方は短くてもご自分で書いて）
rafael.correadelgado@presidencia.gov.ec
まで送ってください。

タイトルは
Urgent Request
Don't close down Acción Ecológica
などでいいと思います。
抗議文例を翻訳できなくてすみません。
「貴政権がこのような決断を下すとはおもいもかけなかった。
同団体の環境保護の活動趣旨はエクアドル新憲法に合致したものである。多くの人々がこれまで貴政権の民衆・環境の側に立った政策に希望を抱いてきたが、それが揺らぎかねない。すぐに決定を取り消してほしい」という内容です。
ご協力よろしくお願いします。

Dear President Correa,
I would like to express to you my dismay about the decision taken by your administration to close down Acción Ecológica by withdrawing its legal capacity (personería juridica). Such a decision could have been expected from the previous anti-people and anti-nature governments, but not from yours. I have been among the many people that applauded the recognition of the rights of nature and the right to “well-being” (buen vivir) in the new Ecuadorian Constitution promoted and approved during your mandate as President.
Within Ecuador, there is no doubt that one of the few organizations that has for years been defending nature and local peoples’ well-being is Acción Ecológica. It is known around the world for its dedication to defending the Amazon and its peoples from oil companies such as Texaco. Everyone that has been in contact with them knows about their
courage, intelligence and commitment to protecting the country’s social and ecological wealth against the economic interests of national and transnational corporations eager to exploit them in a socially unjust and environmentally unsustainable manner. It has been at the forefront of the struggle to obtain recognition and restitution of the ecological debt of the North to the South, and to support the recognition of countries such as Ecuador as ecological debt creditors, as your government has done. It has worked diligently over many years to draw the links between the accumulation of illegitimate financial debt, and policies that violate the rights of people and nature to health and wellbeing. Everyone who has had the privilege of working
with them can only express admiration.
Protecting the country’s natural resources and peoples against industrial logging, commercial shrimp farming, oil exploration and extraction, monoculture tree plantations, biopiracy, water privatization and so on as Acción Ecológica has been doing over many years- is clearly in line with the new Ecuadorian Constitution. Even more so: it is an obligation for any person, organization and institution in Ecuador.
I therefore find that this decision taken by your administration is in total contradiction with the aims stated in the new Constitution and can only think that it is a mistake made by some ill-informed person within your administration.
Your government is seen by many as one of the most progressive within the region and as an example to many other governments that do not respect nature or people’s well-being. Your government is also a sign of hope for those of us who are fighting for a socially just and environmentally sustainable world.
However, the credibility of your government is now at stake as a result of this attack against one of the most respected civil society organizations of your country: Acción Ecológica.
I therefore trust that you will intervene on this issue and ensure that Acción Ecológica’s legal capacity is restored immediately so that they can continue doing what they do best: protecting people’s and nature’s rights.
Yours sincerely,
SIGNATURE
