The Yasuni Indians in Ecuador were first discovered by American missionaries in the sixties, followed by American oil companies who found resources in the primeval forest. Suddenly river pollution posed a serious threat to the many-centuries-old and intact world of the Yasuni. With clever types of resistance, and international support from science and development assistance organisations the indigenous people developed visions which offered a basis for a material existence without destroying the forest.
