@trbrtc Indigenous co-authors of the report called on German, Norwegian, and UK climate donors to directly fund communities in these peak carbon forests. @FCDOGovUK @Climateforest @giz_gmbh @gizperu @noradno

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.

38% of community forests overlapped by oil & gas concessions in the Congo Region. 99% of Cuvette Centrale Peatland community forests are under oil threat, that is 30 billion tons of carbon at stake. https://t.co/bkq8BFtzqb #TheAnswerIsUs #IndigenousRights

In the Amazon Basin, oil and gas blocks cover 31 million hectares (12%) of Indigenous territories, while mining and logging threaten millions more hectares of critical rainforest. 64% of Waorani territory is overlapped by oil blocks despite court rulings.

Did you know that spanning 126 million hectares of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities territories, the Congo Region is Earth’s second-largest tropical forest system? @globalalliancet https://t.co/DnJ1RiQeCY

"El fin de las reservas nacionales presiona para aumentar las licencias de exploración y producción tras las elecciones de 2026. Nuestra investigación muestra que no hay justificación económica ni de seguridad energética para aumentar la producción y exploración en la Amazonía".

New report by @Earth_Insight, @IISD_Energy, and
@OPIAC_Amazonia calls on the Colombian gov’t to shelve unassigned oil blocks to safeguard its IPLCs, contribute to global climate safety, & consolidate Colombia’s environmental leadership.

With the energy transition accelerating, research warns new oil expansion in Colombia’s Amazon is unlikely to break even.

Shelving unassigned blocks would reduce financial risk, help to diversify the economy, & advance 🇨🇴’s climate leadership.
