We hope you are all keeping well and staying out of harm’s way in these difficult times. With much of our lives put on hold we thought we would just share with you the details of an important event for the Trust and the Kogi which took place between Sunday 23 February and Tuesday 03 March 2020 just before we all went into lockdown and the world stood still.
Three Trustees Alan Ereira, Felicity Nock and Falk Xue Parra Witte made the journey to Colombia to meet up with the Kogi Mamas, OGT and Fundación Estación Biológica Bachaqueros, and they were joined by representatives from BRIDGES, UNESCO and Peace with the Earth to flesh out the project we have all been formulating together. Provisionally entitled ‘Cultivating Water’, it looks at the possibility of combining indigenous and non-indigenous scientific expertise in the revitalising of a dried up spring in the dry forest of the Sierra.
