Save the Cofán People & Save the Rainforest
As one of the oldest surviving indigenous cultures in Ecuador, the Cofán people have more than a million acres of land in the Amazonian rainforest. Beginning in the 1960s oil companies, mining industries, industrial farming, and the environmental disasters resulting from these encroachments are destroying much of their land and negatively impacting their health and way of life. -Learn More-
