As we approach International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we revisit our research on the Yavari-Tapiche Corridor. With AEDESEP, ORPIO, and COIAB, we document threats to a proposed 16-million-hectare territory along Brazil and Peru’s west Amazon https://t.co/JuMzDg31Gj

#EACOP is almost built. That means the decisions being made right now, at specific river banks and wetland edges across Uganda and Tanzania, will shape the ecological and social health of this region for the foreseeable future. OpEd by Juan Pablo Osornio

What happens when oil and gas expansion collides with whale migration routes, coral reefs, and fishing communities? Our new report finds: 50% of Important Marine Mammal Areas overlap with oil & gas blocks | 38% of coral reefs fall within risk zones

Deep in the Amazon, along Peru-Brazil border, lies proposed Yavarí-Tapiche Corridor: 16 million hectares of intact forest sheltering world's highest concentration of Indigenous peoples living in isolation. But threats (oil/gas, mining/logging, highways, narcos) are closing in, new report shows.
