COLOMBIA-ENVIRONMENT-INDIGENOUS-AWA

An Indigenous woman walks at the El Gran Sabalo Indigenous Reservation near El Diviso, Narino department, Colombia, on August 31, 2024. They are one of Colombia's Indigenous peoples most threatened by violence, living in rainforests that have been subjected to the predation of armed groups for decades. As environmentalists gather for a major biodiversity meeting in the South American nation, the Awas embody the struggle for survival of native peoples and the defense of the jungle.
