On 26 January 2021, the Court of Nueva Loja banned oil-related gas flaring (GF) activities in Ecuadorian Amazon Region (EAR), establishing a term 18 months for GF sites 'near populated centres' and until 2030 those remaining. However, it is still unclear how ruling will be applied. The present study investigates impact on Amazonian settlements to support application ban. This research part Extreme Citizen Science process carried out by Apaguen los Mecheros campaign—one main claimants trial. To estimate impacts centres four cities, literature data were used create three risk scenarios: very high-risk scenarios (VHR) within 0.65 km, (HR) 2.25 km moderate-risk (MR) 5 km. results highlighted that 294 295 affect at least one centre MR should thus shut off.
