We are a non-profit organization working with Indigenous peoples to defend their rights to land, life, and cultural survival in the Amazon. Somos una organización sin fines de lucro que trabaja junto a los pueblos indígenas para defender sus derechos.
Indigenous leaders #NemonteNenquimo, #HindouIbrahimm & #RukkaSombolinggi demand a larger role at #COP30. "We welcome the ambition to protect the world’s forests. But protection without self-determination is just another form of control & colonialism."

Paro en Ecuador 🇪🇨

En medio de violaciones a los derechos humanos y el avance del extractivismo, los pueblos indígenas defienden sus territorios y alzan la voz frente al avance de los proyectos extractivos. La lucha es por la vida y la justicia.

🛢️Abigail’s decision to fight against the expansion of the oil frontier started when she visited the places and people already touched by the #oilindustry ’s “promise of progress.” The evidence was clear: The promise of oil is a lie.
