Jorge just delivered a presentation about his ongoing work on the logjam in the Maniqui River at San Borja’s city hall, invited by CECASEM, a Bolivian NGO focused on work with Indigenous and peasant women. The presentation was part of the event “Mujeres Indígenas Tsimane’ Protagonistas de la Gobernanza y Resiliencia Climática en su Territorio (2025–2027)”, which gathered women and representatives from the communities where CECASEM works, the director and staff of the Beni Biosphere Reserve, and technicians from the San Borja municipality.
The presentation provided an opportunity to share the preliminary findings of Jorge’s research with local actors directly involved in environmental management and community resilience. Jorge’s work was very well received and gathered significant interest from the participants to the event. These materials, even though still being preliminary, are already helping local actors to understand the current extent and state of the logjam and the transit routes across it, as well as supporting decision-making processes in the Beni Biosphere Reserve.
