I am a master’s student with the Interdiscplinary Studies in Environmental, Economic, and Social Sustainability program at ICTA-UAB. For my thesis, I will work with the IEK-CHANGES team to analyze land tenure regimes (and their associated conflicts) in the ancestral territory of the Tsimane’ people and how this has affected deforestation, social and cultural practices, and environmental knowledge. I am passionate about Environmental Justice and have dedicated many years of my life to climate, environmental, and housing activism. I also work with the Environmental Justice Atlas researching conflicts which have affected Indigenous peoples and local communities around the globe. It is a great honor for me to work with the Tsimane’ people and the IEK-CHANGES team, and I humbly hope that my work will help contribute to the struggle for Indigenous rights and the conservation of their territories.
