Porvenir, a small indigenous community, established over 70 years ago when two Indigenous families settled there, but it wasn’t until 2003 the residents of the village of Porvenir were given legal ownership of the 13,000 acres of land sustaining them. It was the Amazon Herb Co. that came to the assistance of the people of Porvenir, spearheading the multi-year process of securing the deed, and then later providing attorneys and engineers to defend it in court when their rights were challenged. This community of 200 Shipibos now enjoys the security of owning their 13,000 acres of land. Their vision of the future has now been changed for generations to come.
