A Curated Editorial Monitor
Amazon Watch is how the Colombian Amazon Journal tracks the living realities of the Amazon in real time. We discover important public content on Instagram and TikTok — from journalists, researchers, community organizations, local guides, and direct witnesses — and bring it here with full attribution, editorial context, and our own perspective.
We do not scrape, download, or repost. Every item uses official embeds, names the source, links back to the original, and passes our editorial and dignity standards. Embedded content remains the property of its creator. Removal requests are honored immediately.
Coverage spans all nine Amazonian countries: Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Special focus on the Colombian Amazon.
