The president has said he aims in the next three years to double to $4 billion annual mining exports, mostly of gold and copper, and also double crude output, much of it pumped from oil wells in the Amazon.

We’re protecting our territory and rivers from people who want to cause damage,” said the 26-year-old, who belongs to Ecuador’s first uniformed and tech-backed indigenous guard, set up by the A’i Cofan under their own laws in the northern rainforest village of Sinangoe.
It was during one forest patrol four years ago that the guards discovered dredges used by miners to dig up the riverbed for gold – the first they knew about mining concessions being awarded on their territory.
“They didn’t explain why they were there or who they were. We later learned that the list was delivered to government officials in Quito as proof we’d agreed to something we had no idea about,” he said.
