About Us

Embajadores del Orinoco is an independent international movement dedicated to stopping the environmental and human devastation in the Venezuelan Amazon. Launched in 2021, the movement brings together a global coalition of organizations and individuals. Our mission is to expose the destruction caused by illegal mining — promoted by the Venezuelan Regime’s 2016 decree — and to advocate for solutions and international support.

This vast region, covering half of Venezuela, is one of the world’s most biodiverse areas. It’s home to indigenous communities, unique species, and natural wonders like Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Illegal mining, which violates both Venezuelan and international laws, is devastating this critical ecosystem. We work to place the protection of this region and its indigenous communities on the international political agenda. Our efforts include pushing for stronger environmental legislation, enforcing existing treaties, and supporting research to combat the harmful effects of illegal mining. We focus on the welfare of indigenous and local communities, supporting initiatives that monitor and protect the environment and respect their rights.
