There are more than 100 #UncontactedTribes around the world, and they’re the most vulnerable peoples on Earth.
They avoid contact with outsiders, and are the #guardians of the most #biodiverse places on the planet. If their lands are protected they not only survive, but #thrive.
"In a historic decision, Ecuadorians voted on Sunday against the #OilDrilling of a protected area in the #Amazon that is home to two uncontacted tribes and serves as a biodiversity hotspot.
As a result of the vote, state oil company #Petroecuador will be required to dismantle its operations there."
