Los Vegas climate-smart gardens - Indigenous Health and Climate Change in the Amazon

The Los Vegas community have been working on climate-smart orchards rescuing ancestral plant species.
For Amazonian indigenous communities, health is a balance between spirituality, ancestral knowledge, nature and the well-being of the individual and the community.
Any alteration in these aspects can affect health as a whole. Climate change alters this delicate interaction, directly impacting health in its most holistic concept.
In Hivos' Amazonian Indigenous Health Route and Climate Change project, we work to preserve this balance! Read more about the program: hivos.org/prog...
