Visionary Education Center: Preserving Heritage and Promoting Sustainability

We are thrilled to introduce Cristian’s transformative initiative to establish an Education Center dedicated to the preservation and promotion of indigenous knowledge and environmental sustainability. Nestled in the heart of its territory, this center aims to serve as a beacon for learning and engagement, focusing on folk herbalism, indigenous medicine, and the critical reforestation of areas affected by mining, monoculture, or land exploitation.
