They are often the strongest and only defence against environmental atrocities. Women play an important advocacy role in this regard, as guardians and transmitters of traditional knowledge to the next generation, and as activists to protect the environment from companies with economic interests in areas rich in natural resources. By opposing exploitation of the environment, these women are often exposed to serious security risks, gender-based violence and organized crime. This paper examines indigenous women’s activism in the field of nature protection through the cases of indigenous communities in Ecuador and MexicoStaroselska ljudstva predstavljajo le 6,2 % svetovnega prebivalstva, a varujejo 80 % biotske raznovrstnosti planeta. Pogosto so najmočnejša in edina obramba pred okoljskimi grozodejstvi. Pomembno zagovorniško vlogo imajo ravno ženske kot varuhinje in posredovalke tradicionalnega znanja naslednjim generacijam ter aktivistke za zaščito okolja pred podjetji, ki imajo gospodarske interese na območjih, bogatih z naravnimi viri. Ker nasprotujejo njihovemu izkoriščanju, so pogosto izpostavljene resnim varnostnim tveganjem, nasilju na podlagi spola in organiziranemu kriminalu.
