Urgent Action Alert – Tell Talisman Energy CEO John Manzoni: Respect the Achuar people!

Urgent Action Alert - Tell Talisman Energy CEO John Manzoni: Respect the Achuar people!

The unrelenting drive for oil has reached the deepest regions of the Amazon rainforest – and as we write this note, the Canadian oil company Talisman Energy is beginning the drilling of exploratory wells in the ancestral homeland of the Achuar people.

For decades the Achuar have opposed oil development in their lands. And now you can help the Achuar people in their current fight against Talisman Energy.

This Wednesday, three courageous Achuar leaders will stand before the CEO, the Board of Directors, and Talisman shareholders, telling the company to respect the collective rights of the Achuar people and demanding that Talisman immediately withdraw from their Amazonian homeland.

By sending a message to the CEO of Talisman, you will ensure that the Achuar’s demands are heard loud and clear by the company.
