Merge[edit]

Seems like a good idea. I don't know which spelling (Yasuni or Yasuní ) should carry the article but in any event the alternate should then become a redirect. --hydnjo talk 17:06, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that the spelling of the first article started should prevail which would be Yasuni. --hydnjo talk 17:16, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it should be Yasuní, which is the correct spelling. There needs to be a Yasuni redirect though because many people don't bother to type the accented i or don't know how to type it on their keyboard.Rontavius (talk) 22:50, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Map[edit]

Despite the legend, there is only one shade of green on the map. Davidships (talk) 22:24, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

contradictory article[edit]

Article is self-contradictory - first it says that the oil will be extracted (2013) because only 300 million has been pledged (and far less actually given), then in the last paragraph that billions have been pledged and oil extraction will not occur.
