Carlita goes deep into the Amazon jungle to spend two weeks with the Shiwiar tribe an indigenous minority in Ecuador. At a location that is only accessible by plane flight. For further details please contact Carlita and Evolve to Ecology at www.evolvetoecology.com
There are only 830 indigenous Shiwiar left in Ecuador spanning over 13 communities in the Rainforest, the territory Carlita visits is the furthest into the Amazon Jungle, only accessible by an hour and a half plane flight as their territory is near the Puruvian border. to ltake care of two French volunteers, a biologist and photographer whom wish to help conserve the Shiwiar way of life and protect biodiversity also. Before flying deep into the Amazon, Carlita meets and interviews Cristina Gualingam, a Kichwa Indigenous woman whom has been fighting for the conservation and survival of her people in the Savayakwa Territory against illegal oil drilling that has been going on for over 12 years in her territory, Cristina's people are working with Amazon Watch to campaign against the oil company that has destroyed the rainforest and exploited their people's rights. The documentary called,''The Children of the Jaguar'' is coming soon. You can contact Cristina Gualinga at Cristiallwa@yahoo.com.
The two weeks we spent working with the Shiwiar was a humbling experience indeed, to learn their way of life to get a tiny glimpse of their immense knowledge of Rainforest Medicinal plants and general everyday survival, to collaborate on various conservation projects, preparing for future invasion by oil companies, an hour into the podcast you will hear a military helicopter fly into the territory, it is possible they are mapping the area for oil. No words can describe the experience with the Shiwiar people, they are very kind hearted people, anyone is welcome to spend time with them and collaborate on conservation projects.
For further information on how to help us protect the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Shiwiar Culture, contact Carlita at evolvetoecology@gmail.com or carlita@evolvetoecology.com to find out more about how you can help the Shiwiar people.
