Briseida Iglesias, a passionate advocate for environmental sustainability from Panamaโs Indigenous Guna community, is setting an inspiring example by combining ancient traditions with modern practices to promote sustainable living. From planting medicinal plants to adopting greener waste disposal methods, Briseida is leading her rural village on a path toward environmental sustainability and cultural preservation.
โOur efforts extend to educating the youth about the importance of seeking the wisdom and knowledge of our ancestors,โ Briseida shared, emphasizing the role of traditional practices in combating climate change.
As we approach the International Day of Rural Women on October 15, itโs clear that rural women like Briseida are pivotal in the fight against climate change. They possess a deep understanding of forest landscapes and are demonstrating how blending traditional knowledge with modern solutions can build a sustainable future. Their leadership in forest conservation and climate resilience is vital to preserving both the environment and their cultural heritage.
