Summary
The mayangna village in Nicaragua has been the guardian of the forest resources in the nine territories where it settles, being 75 the communities that inhabit the territory. Despite this, the advance of a group of colons threatens to destroy the forest and the means of life of the mayangna village, highlighting the importance of the need that the Nicaraguan government moves forward with the implementation of the rights of the indigenous villages through territorial sanitation.
