The Ashaninka Indigenous Amazonian Women Organization of the Central Rainforest in Peru (OMIAASEC) has begun collaborating with IHACC PhD student Ingrid Arotoma-Rojas to co-develop research in the Peruvian Amazon.
Currently, nine female youth are learning how to use video cameras to produce a short film about changes in their food systems, climate change, and COVID-19, with the first workshop held in January 2021.
Ingrid will continue to work with OMIAASEC during her program, and the IHACC Team looks forward to working with OMIAASEC into the future!
