Indigenous Youth
We are Indigenous youth working to restore our sacred Uru Uru lake by combining Indigenous knowledge with science. Using the phytoremediation properties of totora, we are removing mining pollutants, and through youth-led community action, we are cleaning the lake little by little.
Our work is mostly led by young Indigenous women, honouring the balance of Pachamama, our Mother Earth. We come from diverse academic backgrounds, united by our heritage and a shared commitment to bring life back to Lake Uru Uru, contributing to the global fight against climate change.
