#Regram #RG @amazonfrontlines: A groundbreaking victory for indigenous rights in the upper Amazon!? ? The Kofan people of the Ecuadorian Amazon won a landmark legal battle yesterday to protect one of the most biodiverse headwater regions of the Amazon basin, nullifying 52 gold mining concessions and stopping a gold rush that threatened more than 60,000 acres of primary rainforest in their ancestral lands. This victory is not only important to the wellbeing of a rainforest and river network that thousands of people depend on, but it’s also a precedent-setting moment for indigenous rights in Ecuador with broader implications for protecting rainforests vital to Earth’s climate. ? ? Stay tuned as we continue to share information about this victory, what’s next for the Kofan of Sinangoe and how you can be involved. ? ? #StandWithSinangoe#EarthDefenders#EarthGuardians#Waterprotectors
