An incredible win for the Amazon. The Waorani have succeeded in protecting over 500,000 acres of rainforest from oil drilling. Proud to support the #WaoraniResistance.
BREAKING: Game-changing win for the Amazon!
The Waorani have defeated the Ecuadorian government on appeal, blocking the sale of 500,000 acres of their ancestral lands from oil drilling.
“We have shown the world that life is more important than oil!” said Nemonte Nenquimo, Waorani leader. “And united we can protect our way of life, the Amazon rainforest, and our planet from destruction.”
Now’s the time to keep the momentum going, and turn this precedent into a victory for neighboring indigenous nations, who are defending 7 million acres of forest threatened by oil in the Amazon.

The legal victory being celebrated by the Waorani is emblematic of the indigenous rights crisis at the center of the broader environmental struggle: the people for whom the rainforest is both home and national territory are also those best positioned to safeguard the forest’s survival. Please read this important op-ed in Reuters by Amazon Frontlines Executive Director Mitch Anderson, that frames the Waorani people’s recent landmark legal victory in the broader context of life-and-death struggles to protect the world’s remaining defenses against climate change.
