Indigenous-led education is already underway in the Amazon. Now #Ecuador’s @Educacion_Ec must formally register these models & allocate the budget and capacity they require. The right exists since 1988. Political will must follow.

Waorani, Siekopai, and A’i Cofán families presented the result of years of collective work: their Community Educational Projects (PEC). These intercultural education models are rooted in ancestral wisdom, learning from the land, and strengthening Indigenous autonomy. 👇

...by governments and extractive industries. Together with our Indigenous partners, we’re using innovative community-led mapping and bold legal strategies to challenge colonial systems and remove the barriers that block the formal recognition of ancestral lands.

#LandBack in the #Amazon isn’t only about redressing a historical injustice — it’s about reclaiming Indigenous peoples’ right to thrive. Across the region, tens of millions of hectares of ancestral #IndigenousTerritories have been illegally claimed, exposing them to expolation 👇

🪈For #Siekopai children, pride in ancestral culture is nurtured through music, tradition, and learning from elders. Playing traditional flutes is more than sound—it’s identity, memory, and wisdom passed between generations. 🔗 amazonfrontlines.org/chronicles/com…

If these oil blocks move forward, the consequences will ripple far beyond Ecuador: deforestation and oil drilling accelerate emissions, destabilize rainfall systems, poison rivers, and destroy biodiversity — pushing the Amazon closer to a climate tipping point.

Ecuador is selling off the rainforest, the culture, the life, and the home of 7 Indigenous nationalities, to make way for nearly 50 oil projects. The #Andwa people are threatened by oil blocks 80 and 81, which cover 100% of their territory along the Bobonaza River.
