Resumen

El artículo, basado en una compilación y procesamiento de fuentes primarias (entrevistas de campo, testimonios y reportes oficiales) examina cómo la minería ilegal en Ecuador, amparada por estructuras estatales y corporativas, viola los derechos indígenas y genera conflictos socioambientales. El autor destaca la "extracción en las sombras", un sistema que evade regulaciones mientras devasta territorios ancestrales. A través de casos concretos, revela la complicidad de autoridades y la resistencia de comunidades indígenas, enfatizando la urgencia de proteger sus derechos colectivos. Una lectura esencial para entender el extractivismo clandestino y sus impactos en América Latina.
