VOICED : Ecuador tribe swaps hunting for cocoa farming to save forest

The video explores the traditional life of a tribe in Ecuador's Amazon and highlights the significant role of women in conservation efforts. Since 2010, an indigenous women's group has been promoting sustainable practices by encouraging men to give up hunting in exchange for cocoa farming. This initiative not only helps preserve biodiversity but also provides economic benefits by selling cocoa at a premium price. The project has empowered women, involved multiple communities, and led to cultural and environmental changes. The tribe's shift from hunting to cocoa farming is making a positive impact on their ecosystem.
