The Cofán people are the remnants of a once-numerous riverine culture that has traditionally occupied what is today the northeastern corner of Ecuador and the corresponding region to the north in Colombia.


Numbering less than two thousand people at this time, the Cofan people have nevertheless established themselves as the vanguard of indigenous conservation efforts, taking on the task of caring for over a million acres of rain forest in Ecuador and large areas in adjacent Colombia.
