100 LEADERS, 100 STORIES
It is a platform to highlight 100 visionary individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean, which holds 40% of the world's biodiversity. These individuals—founders, directors, Indigenous and Afro-descendant leaders in the field, and silent heroes and heroines—dedicate their time, passion, and leadership to conserving and regenerating natural ecosystems.
"They embody the commitment to the core values of NaturaTech LAC: balance, reciprocity, and social and environmental justice. They combine cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, IoT, and decentralized platforms, with traditional knowledge, creating innovative solutions that conserve and regenerate biodiversity and promote the holistic well-being of the communities that inhabit these territories."
