Yasuni can mean:
Yasuni National Park
Yasuni National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Yasuní) is in Ecuador with an area of 9,820 km2 between the Napo and Curaray rivers in Napo and Pastaza provinces in Amazonian Ecuador. The national park lies within the Napo moist forests ecoregion and is primarily rain forest. The park is about 250 km from Quito and was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1989. It is within the claimed ancestral territory of the Huaorani indigenous people. Yasuni is home to two uncontacted indigenous tribes, the Tagaeri and the Taromenane.
Biodiversity
Yasuni National Park is arguably the most biologically diverse spot on Earth. The park is at the center of a small zone where amphibian, bird, mammal, and vascular plant diversity all reach their maximum levels within the Western Hemisphere. Moreover, the park breaks world records for local-scale (less than 100 km2) tree, amphibian, and bat species richness, and is one of the richest spots in the world for birds and mammals at local scales as well.

Yasuni
by: Panic RoomIn a land in the Amazon
There is a sound
Like the burning of Eden
Down to the ground
They're moving
In the night
Moving
No one right
In this land there could never be
Enough oil for a century
But still they come
Fighting wars of economy
Breaking laws of humanity
With poison and guns
Another demon
Another demon
Pulling the heart from where we belong
People are needing, people are pleading
For you to be gone
Yasuni is falling
And people are calling
Where are we to turn?
Who are we to trust?
The heavens fall on us.
No one dare fight the government
They are immune
Making deals with the enemies
They are are dancing with doom
Another demon
Another demon
Stealing the life from where we belong
People are screaming, people are bleeding
What have we done?
Yasuni is falling
And people are calling
Where are we to turn?
Who are we to trust?
The heavens fall on us.
Where are we to turn?
Who are we to trust?
The heavens fall on us
Where are they to turn?
Who are they to trust?
The answers fall to us.
