Amazon Voices: In the heart of Native American Resistance
by Lucile Alemany & Lamia Chraibi
In Amazonia, Ecuador, Indigenous communities in a region devastated by Chevron Texaco try to make their voices heard to denounce the damage done by oil extraction
In Sarayaku, Yasuni and Lago Agrio—a region devastated by the Chevron Texaco corporation—, several indigenous communities are still trying to make their voices heard.

What is a “good-living” society? What solutions can be found in education? Get to know those who resist—and those who propose and create new ways to live in society.
