Bo Derek is leading the campaign against oil drilling in Yasuni National Park in Ecuador.

There are 10 billion dollars worth of oil in the rainforst.

Even though Ecuador is a developing country, and could really use the revenue, they are willing to accept less than half that amount in donations from around the world.

If they reach their 3.6 billion dollar goal, they won’t drill.

The money will go to reforestion, social development, renewable energy, and clean up.
