Liz Chicaje Churay grew up in the remote Bora territory of Perú, surrounded by an astounding array of wildlife and some 3,000 species of plants. So when she saw her #community under threat from illegal logging, fishing and gold mining, the #PMIFuture50 leader took action to preserve the land.⁠ ⁠ After three years of campaigning and collaborating with #Indigenous leaders and conservationists and scientists from around the world, she and her team finally got their reward: the creation of Yaguas National Park. Spanning more than 809,371 hectares of Amazon #rainforest, the space will sequester an estimated 1.5 million tons of carbon over the next 20 years.⁠ ⁠ Read how Chicaje grew her organizer prowess—and her profile—to make her vision for #conservation a reality.⁠ ⁠ 📷: goldmanprize⁠ ⁠ #MakeReality #ProjectManagement #ProjectManager #LATAM #LatinAmerica #Peru #AmazonRainforest #SocialImpact #SocialGood #changemaker #changemakers #leadership #leaders #YoungLeaders #MakeADifference #Climat...
