Civil society building efforts in Ecuador have provided the Achuar and Kichwas of the
Amazon with a voice. This is particularly relevant given the global significance of the
Amazon, which makes it essential that local voices are empowered to have a say in the
future of their local space. Civil society building efforts aim at empowering historically
excluded groups, leading to their political inclusion, as well as to an increase in their
decision-making power. The Amazonian indigenous movement demands autonomy, but
this has become unattainable due to the area´s insertion into the process of globalisation. In
response, the Amazonian indigenous movement has joined forces with counterhegemonic
global actors such as activists and environmental NGOs.
