Voices for Environmental Justice

Welcome to our podcast series on the need to recognize nature as a subject of rights and the dialogue of knowledge with Indigenous peoples! In this space, we will explore the importance of considering nature as a being with its own rights, and how the ancestral knowledge of Indigenous peoples can enrich our relationship with nature. Get ready to immerse yourself in a fascinating intercultural dialogue and discover new perspectives on environmental justice for the protection of our planet!

Interview to José Alex Campo BisusHe is an indigenous man from the Nasa people, from the Cauca Páez region, the territory where he was born. He is the son of a traditional healer and a weaver of handicrafts that highlight Nasa culture. “I have knowledge about my own culture, about the language, spirituality, medicine, and way of life within the communities. I am a young indigenous man currently enrolled in educational programs at the Universidad Surcolombiana, in my third semester of the Hotel and Tourism Management program.”

We especially thank José Alex Campo Bisus for his testimony, Yohana Campo Bisus, a student of the Master's Program in Education and Human Development at CINDE and the University of Manizales, and Alejandra Castro for her collaboration.
