Defend the Upper Amazon by preserving one of the last sources of pure water in the Ecuadoran region of Pastaza. Indigeous people of the region depend on el Ojo del Agua, the Eye of the Water, to sustain their way of life and make ecological development possible. Your donation does more than just defend a precious environmental resource and ancient way of life. The leaders of this indigeous community are dedicated to the sustainable development of medicinal agriculture in the rainforest. The land offers physical space for the establishment of a school that will educate local youth and visitors in botanical sciences and technologies both ancient and modern.
The Eye of the Water is now in danger of being destroyed for its resources which would displace over 50,000 indigenous people from their ancestrial homeland in the jungle. The culture of thousands years past faces extinction and the window of time to help runs short as the owner will sell the land to oil corporations by the end of this year if we cannot provide a down payment.
With your help our people's can buy 2965 acres surrounding the Eye and reoccupy the land as its rightful guardians.
