They are the Guardians of Knowledge. While the world searches for high-tech solutions to the climate crisis, the most powerful answer has been here all along. In this video, we explore the critical role Indigenous women play in environmental conservation, preserving ancient wisdom that is key to solving our modern ecological crises.
From the Amazon rainforest to communities worldwide, Indigenous women are not just inhabitants of the land; they are its librarians, doctors, and historians. They hold Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) passed down for millennia—understanding how to grow food in harmony with the forest, which plants heal, and how to read the subtle signs of nature we've forgotten. They are on the frontlines, protecting 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity.
