Ofir is a Tsimane’ co-researcher, translator, and community leader from Caracara, a Tsimane’ community located along the Maniqui River in the Bolivian Amazon. He works with the IEK-CHANGES project as a co-researcher and translator, contributing his knowledge, experience, and insights to our collaborative research. Alongside his work with the project, Ofir serves as the corregidor (community leader) of Caracara. He also tends to his chaco (family farm), where he grows rice, cassava, maize, plantains, and other crops. He cultivates these crops both to feed his family and to sell at local markets. The income he earns, though modest, helps him provide for his family and meet their everyday needs. In 2014, Ofir studied at the Autonomous University of Beni (Universidad Autónoma del Beni), completing a technical qualification in agricultural production at the ETHA U.A.B. Casarabe Agricultural and Technical School.
