Carmenza Yucuna, a leader from Colombia’s Jariyé community, is studying the ways native Melipona bees support a healthy environment. Through this work and with support from the Amazonia Indigenous Women’s Fellowship Program, Carmenza is strengthening the traditional knowledge of environmental management among women in her community.
The Amazonia Indigenous Women’s Fellowship Program, an initiative of Our Future Forests–Amazonia Verde project, supports Indigenous women leaders and the key roles they play in local, national and regional conservation decision-making processes.
