Management of the Tropical Forests of the Ecuadorian Amazon
The Management of the Tropical Forests of the Ecuadorian Amazon is a project sponsored by the Ecuadorian chapter of the International Organization CARE, with funding the USA and in cooperation with the following entities: the Interprovincial Federation of Shuar Centers (Span. FICSH), the Independent Federation of the Shuar People of Ecuador (Span. FIPSE), the Zápara Peoples Of Ecuador, the Achuar Peoples of Ecuador and the Saraguro People's Federation of Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador. The project aims to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and for this it aims to contribute to reverse the loss of resources of the environment and to preserve the natural and cultural environment of the indigenous peoples of the southern and central Ecuadorian Amazon. Among the expected results, this initiative seeks to defend the right to land ownership by indigenous nationalities, strengthen the National System of Protected Areas and rescue the ancestral knowledge contributing to a reduction in the loss of natural biodiversity and culture. The project was carried out in 2012 and involved the participation of 30,000 people (20,000 indigenous people and 10,000 mestizo people living in the three provinces).
