YASUNI

deep in ecuador’s amazon, i travelled by boat through the yasuní rainforest to meet waorani communities who have spent decades resisting the advance of oil companies into their ancestral land. in a place where roads, pipelines and contamination have pushed ever deeper into the jungle, the waorani have continued to fight to protect both their territory and way of life against some of the world’s most powerful corporations. through portraits, stories and moments from daily life in the forest, the project explores the strength, resilience and defiance of a people determined to defend one of the most biodiverse places on earth before it disappears.

this is what i found

"THE OIL COMPANIES BRING CONFLICT, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION"

"THE JUNGLE WAS PROTECTED BY OUR ANCESTORS, NOW WE'RE HERE TO DEFEND IT"
