What is the project about?

The Amazon sustains life on Earth. Indigenous communities, the forest’s true protectors, face climate threats and injustice. The travel company Ventura TRAVEL and the V Social Foundation partner with Sinchi Warmi, a women-led Indigenous collective in Ecuador, to protect biodiversity and support local stewards.
