Who should decide the future of the Amazon? Decisions fueled by corporate interests and greed have brought us to where we are today: on the brink of climate chaos. Yet Indigenous peoples have for millennia protected the lands and ecosystems they call home. Although they account for 5 percent of the world’s population, Indigenous peoples care for almost a quarter of the Earth’s surface and 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity. They are the guardians of this forest.

Any and all possible solutions to the climate crisis include protecting the Amazon. We have an opportunity in Ecuador to guarantee Indigenous peoples’ right to decide over their futures and their forests. To stop corporations from drilling or mining on ancestral territories against their will. The time is NOW to join Indigenous peoples’ fight for the right to decide.
