Ori'Numba is a family experience run by the Harakbut people, who work to defend their territory, pass on ancestral knowledge, and conserve biodiversity through tourism with a local identity that connects culture, the forest, and ancestral memory. This living space is not only committed to the reforestation of native species, but is also home to melipona bees, orchids, heliconias, and medicinal and ancestral plants that were rescued from ecosystems affected by practices such as mining, deforestation, livestock farming, and forest fires. Through our work, we seek to reverse the processes of environmental degradation by intertwining the defense of the territory, the transmission of ancestral knowledge, and the restoration of spiritual links with ecosystems. Through culture, traditional agriculture, and environmental education, a space for protection, learning, and natural reproduction has been created that revalues ancestral knowledge and promotes the leadership of indigenous women and youth toward a sustainable and intercultural future.
