Yasuní National Park in the Ecuadorian Amazon is a haven of biodiversity and home to the Indigenous people who protect it – including Ecuador’s last peoples in voluntary isolation, the Tagaeri and Taromenane. It also holds a third of the country’s oil reserves, and the exploration of these reserves threatens these communities' way of life.

Ecuador's constitution guarantees the rights of isolated Indigenous peoples and prohibits all extractive activities in their territories because of the threats outsiders pose to their way of life. Yet the Ecuadorian government has instead promoted oil extraction in Yasuní and allowed uncontrolled logging in the area. Advocates brought a case to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and it's finally going to be heard next week!

Urge the IACHR to rule in favor of protecting the rights of the Tagaeri and Taromenane! This case could set an important precedent for the protection of isolated peoples throughout the region, and we need your solidarity.

Take action now to demand the protection of Ecuador’s last Indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation!
