Protecting the people of Ecuador's Biosphere
As a result of their culture or ethnicity, many minorities and disadvantaged populations in Ecuador suffer discrimination and social exclusion, and their rights and opportunities for education, health and agricultural production are severely neglected. The MDG-F is funding four programmes to improve lives in Ecuador, including one to build sustainable livelihoods for indigenous people living in the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve, one of the world’s most biodiverse areas.
