Women play a fundamental role in the preservation of biodiversity and ancestral knowledge, and the management and defence of Amazonian land and water. However, these contributions often go unrecognised. The Women of Influence project - a partnership between UEA (Norwich, UK), PUCP (Lima, Peru), ONAMIAP and OMIAASEC - has worked alongside these young Asháninka women, to understand, support and make visible the work that these women have undertaken as community members and future leaders.
