Amazon Frontlines: Securing Indigenous Land Titles in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Founded in 2011, Amazon Frontlines works alongside Indigenous federations CONAIE and CONFENIAE in Ecuador, including through its 2023 'Allpamanta' (Territory is Life) land-titling initiative, to help Amazonian nations secure legal title to ancestral lands. In a landmark November 2023 ruling, Ecuador's Provincial Court of Sucumbios ordered the titling of 42,360 hectares of ancestral territory to the Siekopai Nation, a decision the government has so far failed to fully implement.
