In Ecuador's remote Amazon, the Kichwa people of Sarayaku have waged a successful decades-long battle against oil extraction in their territory. Due to their resistance, they kept some 100 million barrels of crude in the ground and helped lead a rights-based movement to end extraction in Ecuador and beyond!

Amazon Watch has had the privilege of partnering with Sarayaku for over two decades, providing advocacy, communications, capacity building, and regranting support. Together, we invite you to deepen your solidarity with the Sarayaku and join us for a live conversation!

YES, I WANT TO JOIN A LIVE DISCUSSION FROM SARAYAKU!

When: Tuesday, July 27 @ 11 am PDT / 2 pm EDT
Simultaneous interpretation will be provided!

Tuesday marks the anniversary of their legal victory and the declaration of their Kawsak Sacha, or Living Forest, proposal. We hope you will join us for this discussion with Sarayaku leaders about this moment of threat and opportunity and the urgent need for Indigenous solutions like Kawsak Sacha for Sarayaku, the Amazon, and the world. COVID-19, historic flooding, climate change, and the threat of new oil expansion put their people at even greater risk.

A pillar of resistance, resiliency, and vision, the Kichwa of Sarayaku were recently awarded the 2021 UN Equator Prize, in part for their illuminating Kawsak Sacha proposal that seeks to establish a new category of protected area based on traditional Indigenous worldviews and ancestral forest protection practices.

Join us for a live conversation on Tuesday!
