The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Rights this year casts a spotlight on the self-determination of Indigenous peoples, a fundamental pillar for the preservation of the Amazon and its custodians. In the heart of Peru, a revolutionary movement unfolds as Amazonian communities pioneer the creation of Autonomous Territorial Governments, a beacon of hope and autonomy.

With unwavering support from Amazon Watch, particularly aiding the Wampis and Achuar peoples, these communities are forging a path towards self-governance, embodying the resilience and unity necessary to combat the encroaching threats on their sacred lands. This movement isn’t just about reclaiming territory; it’s a profound statement of identity, culture, and the inextricable link between Indigenous rights and the health of our planet.

So what exactly are these autonomous Indigenous governments, how do they work, and why are they so important for the fight against the threats to the Amazon?
