María Taant was a Shuar woman who fought tirelessly in defense of the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest and for Indigenous women's rights. She went up against mining companies looking to exploit her community's lands in the name of profit and advocated for a healthy environment for her people.

On March 26, 2021, María was run over by a car on her way home from an event where she was receiving recognition for her work with Mujeres Amazónicas, a collective of women defenders of the rainforest.
