Last week, heavily-armed policemen raided the home of Carlos Zorrilla, a mining activist in the Intag cloudforest region of northwestern Ecuador. For over a decade, Carlos and his organization, DECOIN, have been working to protect the biodiverse Intag region from large-scale copper mining.

To help please send a protest letter demanding an end to the intimidation of Ecuadorian mining activists and urge officials in Ecuador to investigate the circumstances of the police raid and the charges that have been brought against Carlos.
