As the region's environment deteriorated and health issues arose, the Cofán became plaintiffs in a significant lawsuit for compensation. Despite the challenges posed by environmental destruction, they strive to preserve their language, culture, and rainforest home, showcasing their resilience in the face of adversity and their commitment to justice.
