A grantee of the foundation's Amazon-Andes Initiative since 2001, the Amazon Conservation Team celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. To help mark the two-decade milestone, ACT is producing a new podcast, "Maps, Magic, and Medicine," that explores the importance of indigenous knowledge to protect the environment. Monthly stories will cover ethnobotany, shamanism, participatory mapping, isolated peoples and interviews with indigenous colleagues in Colombia and Suriname--delivering "the spiritual, the unexplained and the unbelievable."
"To create innovative strategies that address global climate change, poverty and land rights, we must understand the interconnectedness of humans and the environment..."
The first podcast begins Thursday, August 18. You can subscribe to Maps, Magic, and Medicine on iTunes and engage online at mapsmagicmedicine.com.
