biocultural and community and visualities

This event allows us to understand that damage is not only inflicted on people and property, but also affects the relationships that sustain collective and ecological life. There is a spiritual, historical and cultural connection between communities and their territory, in which the land, nature and collective identity are inseparable. Souce: @jep_colombia

Community mapping in Los Montes de María. Communities of Majupan and Las Brisas create maps featuring trees as memory sites and ponds and nature as ecological symbols.
