We the undersigned, call the President of Colombia Mr. Santos to cancel the project for the construction of a 7 star mega-hotel in Tayrona National Park, home of the Arawaks (Kogui), indigenous community that has inhabited the park for centuries. We cannot permit the exploitation of our natural resources for the benefit of a few. The interest of our nation and of our people must be to preserve and conserve our natural resources for the sake of future generations to come and the health of the ecosystems. We do not buy the neoliberal lie of sustainability under this particular circumstance. At the beginning of his presidency Mr Santos participated in a ritual to homage mother earth or Pachamama with the Arawaks (Kogui) and now he has mocked us Colombian citizens and the indigenous community announcing the construction of this "sustainable project". Nothing is more sustainable and green than the practices of our indigenous communities. We should preserve their knowledge and customs and their direct relationship with the environment. Say No! to the construction of a seven star luxury hotel in Parque Tayrona, near Santa Marta Colombia.
