"In an unprecedented show of solidarity, communities in the Amazon, NGOs and
local governments are teaming up to protect Ecuador’s rainforest.

“Some previous local governments have not put much interest in people and
nationalities,” says Daniel Dahua, President of the Andwa Nationality of
Pastaza in Ecuador. “We as nationalities have needs in the territory [but] the
willingness to act on our behalf among politicians did not exist.”

The new collaboration between Ecuador’s government and Indigenous groups seeks
to change this.

A REDD+ project in Ecuador’s Pastaza region has paved the way for an even
greater collaboration, named the Amazonian Platform for Forests, Climate and
Human Wellbeing. It aims to combat climate change, protect critical ecosystems
and threatened species, and improve the well-being of the people who live in
the region."
