Discussion of the multi-scale common from the Territory of the Isolated Peoples

Main Article Content

Abstract

In the last two decades, the Ecuadorian society has become more aware of the reality of the Tagaeri-
Taromenane, the last of the Isolated People living in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the greatest challenge
for the so called plurinational Ecuadorian Constitution. However, the existence of oil reserves in their
space has promoted the expansion of the extractivist frontier, which created a networks of roads that
promoted its successive agricultural colonization. This paper gets deeper in the history of acknowledgement
of these Isolated people’s rights and territoriality. Big parts of the Ecuadorian society have been
involved in their defense, therefore constructing the Yasuní as a territorial common transcending its
scale and spatial barriers.
