Empowering Women to Heal the World

Odyssey Conservation Trust - Tacana Women Project

Since the 1990s, the Odyssey Conservation Trust has developed creative, cost-effective, community-based projects across the globe, which centralize the role of women in innovative environmental conservation and the revitalization of the ecosystems in which they live. Through its work in six of the most biodiverse regions in the world, the Odyssey Conservation Trust has perfected the balance of preserving rich cultural traditions of the past and building a bright, flourishing future relationship between nature and humankind.

Located in the Madidi National Park in northwest Bolivia, the Odyssey Conservation Trust's Tacana Women Project serves as an innovative response to the need for increased conservation practices in biodiverse ecosystems. Despite their longstanding presence in the mountainous Tropical Andes, many of the women and children of indigenous Tacana communities today struggle under the weight of poverty, malnourishment, and diseases transmitted through domestic animals.
