In a wave of global conservationism, Ecuador established two large protected areas in its Amazon region in 1979. One of these is the Reserva de Producción Faunística Cuyabeno (RPFC), located in the northeastern corner of the country.

The research conducted comprised three months’ fieldwork in three of the affected Siona communities, primarily through the use of participant observation.
