Gaia Amazonas is a Bogotá-based foundation dedicated to strengthening indigenous autonomy and territorial governance across Colombia's eastern Amazon — over 25 million hectares encompassing the departments of Amazonas, Vaupés, and Guainía. It works with approximately 20 ethnic groups and 14 indigenous territories, providing geographic information systems, strategic communications, and leadership training. A recent milestone is the Gustavo Petro government's formalisation of the first eight Indigenous Territorial Entities (ETIs) in the Colombian Amazon, a constitutional reform Gaia Amazonas accompanied for decades. The foundation also facilitates South–South exchanges connecting Amazonian governance voices globally.
