The UPF Centre for Studies on Planetary Wellbeing and Trees&Circles Foundation invite you to an event to reflect on the role of women and indigenous people in nature conservation. The event includes the screening of the award winning short documentary Nuraga Bhumi directed by Danielle Khan Da Silva.  Nuraga Bhumi follows a group of indigenous Batak women from Sumatra (Indonesia), who have come together to protect the endangered wildlife in their home forest. It is a story of courage and love for their land, as they navigate the present effects of a colonial past. Tress&Circles Foundation supports women-led grassroots initiatives focused on ecosystems conservation and restoration. They have received a grant from UPF Solidària, to support the work the women portrayed in Nuraga Bhumi are carrying. Registration link.
