Description/notes
Fundación Pachamama maintains its work in the Amazon, in the protection of the Sacred Headwaters of the Napo and Marañón Rivers, strengthening the processes for the defence of collective, territorial, and natural rights. The commitment of this organization to the Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador for more than twenty years remains intact, especially now, when the frontiers of mining and oil exploitation are extended to Shuar, Achuar, Sápara, Shiwiar, and Kichwa territories where it was previously unthinkable because they have expressed their outright rejection of this type of extractive activities.
