In a landmark move, Colombia’s Land Restitution Unit (URT) has successfully returned more than 16,000 hectares of land to the semi-nomadic indigenous communities of Sikuani and Piapoco. This restitution marks a significant step toward rectifying the historical injustices that these groups have endured over four decades, including the loss of their land, culture, cosmology, and traditions.
