This reportage documents the daily life of the Waorani, an Indigenous community living in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The total Waorani population is estimated at between 2,000 and 4,000 people, living across dispersed settlements in the region.

Daily subsistence relies on fishing and hunting, using traditional methods such as blowguns and wooden spears, alongside small-scale gathering from the surrounding forest.

Traditionally dependent on the forest for livelihood and cultural continuity, the Waorani today face increasing external pressures. Oil extraction activities in and around Yasuní National Park, along with ongoing illegal logging, have altered the environmental and social landscape in which the community lives.

At the same time, generational differences are becoming more visible. While older members of the community maintain a close relationship with the forest and its traditions, younger generations are increasingly drawn toward life beyond it, navigating new opportunities and influences.

This reportage focuses on everyday life within the community, observing a moment of transition shaped by both internal change and external forces.
