In Mali, particularly in Dogon Country, an upland area of the former Mopti region, communities are increasingly feeling the effects of climate change. Indigenous women involved in market gardening are among those most affected.
Despite growing difficulties in accessing water, these women continue to work hard to maintain their gardening activities. Faced with severe water shortages, many of them have turned to traditional methods of finding and conserving water.

I grew up on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, shaped by the presence, resistance, and cultural memory of the Guarani-Kaiowá people. My earliest memories are stories shared by Elders, carried through songs, explaining our relationship to the land, to one another, and to the generations before us.
