In the Peruvian Amazon, the Wampís Nation is leading a courageous fight to protect their land from illegal mining. While the government has failed to act, the Wampís have taken matters into their own hands through their Indigenous guard, the Charip Group, defending their rivers and forests from destruction.
Amazon Watch, in collaboration with Mullu, is proud to share a new film that tells their story – a story of resilience, self-determination, and love for the Amazon.
Watch the film above to learn more about why supporting the Wampís is essential to protecting our shared future.
The film shines a light on what governments ignore: Indigenous peoples are already leading the fight for real climate solutions by protecting the world’s largest rainforest.
The Wampís’ fight is not just local, it’s global. Defending the Amazon means defending the planet.
