I\u2019m ecologist with a Msc in Tropical Forestry and management. Both my bachelor thesis as well as my Msc thesis, were related to the study of the indigenous people togheter with the use and management of the forest. The first one allowed me to get in contact and live together within an indigenous community for more than 6 months in Guain\u00eda (Colombia amazons) and the Msc thesis allowed me to live for 4 months within 2 indigenous (Kichwa) communities in Ecuador.
Currently I\u2019m working as the deputy director of Proterra<\/a>. I\u2019m related with the forest issues due to me being a social-environmental activist that has been working together with diverse local organizations and social leaders in order to generate social-ecological projects to defend, protect, understand and rebuild social structures related with forest and environmental resources. During the last 2 years I have been coordinating 3 projects at local level that involve the reconnection of the people and local communities in a collective way within their territories, that includes forest. This work will be also projected in the pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What?<\/strong>
Photo gallery regarding forest use and management from indigenous and rural people in Colombia and Latino America. Each picture will have a photo narrative<\/span> attached that will connect the people with the reality that is exposed in the picture.<\/span>
„Voices from the Forest“ is a gallery that seeks to make the stories of the people and life in the forest visible through a photographic exhibition of the interesting work of Proterra NGO. The NGO will promote a gallery in which collective and individual pictures and narratives will be telling the stories about indigenous people and local communities in Colombia to show the visitors the diversity of life in the forest, as well as the diversity on processes of conservation that people in the rural regions of the country are carrying out. Through images and stories, they will share memories, experiences, feelings and thoughts of the people to think about the importance of caring for these natural ecosystems brimming with life and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
