Remarks

Etymology: 'In honor of the last human groups who have remained in voluntary isolation that have inhabited the Yasuní forests. The call themselves Tagaeri/Taromenane and have a direct affiliation with the Waorani indigenous people, who were generically known as Aucas. In some studies (WRM 2013), they mention that the Tagaeri would have disappeared due to causes related to diseases and internal conflicts, in the same way that it would be happening with the Taromenane. Tagaeri and Taromenane are nouns in apposition'.
