Diana Chávez

Diana Chávez is a prominent leader of Pakkiru, one of the indigenous nations in the Pastaza province of Ecuador. She has been actively vocal against the Ecuadorian government's plans to expand oil production in ancestral lands without proper consent from indigenous communities. Chávez emphasizes the need for genuine consultation with indigenous peoples, asserting that past claims of consent by the government are untrue. Her leadership reflects the ongoing struggle of indigenous groups to protect their rights and territories from extractive industries.
