In July 2022, indigenous authorities of Pirá Paraná, a territory located in the department of Vaupes with great cultural and biological importance for the Amazon, filed a writ of amparo requesting the safeguarding of four fundamental rights that are alleged to be violated by carbon credit projects: (1) cultural integrity, (2) self-determination, (3) to self-government and (4) the territory.

After the request was denied in the first and second instance, magistrates of the Constitutional Court, in a selection hearing, decided to review it. The reason being that it meets all the objective selection criteria, it has the "need to rule on a certain line of jurisprudence" and it is "a fresh matter".

It is the first time the Constitutional Court will address a case of the voluntary carbon market. The ruling would set a legal precedent that would, not only have an impact in the territory of Pirá Paraná but throughout the country.
