The view out over Paraitepuy, an Indigenous village in southeastern Venezuela that hugs the borders with neighboring Guyana and Brazil. The region of the Gran Sabana, which has been designated a national park, is home to ethnic Pemón people, who live scattered across the region in dozens of small villages, some of them very remote. Unemployment and a chronic lack of even essential services plague the Indigenous communities of the Gran Sabana, pushing some residents to leave their lands or resort to illegal wildcat mining, which has devastating health and environmental effects. UNHCR works with many vulnerable Indigenous communities, such as Paraitepuy, to help prevent displacement. The UN Refugee Agency has provided staple foods and essential items, such as solar-powered lamps, that improve residents’ quality of life and allow people to remain on their ancestral lands. ; UNHCR works within Venezuela to provide support to refugees inside the South American country, as well as with vulnerable Venezuelan populations at risk of displacement, and also with those returning to the country from abroad.
