Ori'Numba is a family experience of the Harakbut people, who work for the defense of the territory, the transmission of ancestral knowledge and the conservation of biodiversity through tourism with local identity that connects culture, 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, medicinal and ancestral plants that were rescued from ecosystems that are affected by practices such as mining, deforestation, cattle ranching or forest fires. With the work we do, 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, we have created a space for protection, learning and natural reproduction that revalues ancestral knowledge and fosters the leadership of indigenous women and youth towards a sustainable and intercultural future.
