#MUNIonThis: What's it like being a woman in conservation? And what difference does it make when women lead?
In this episode, we have a personal conversation with two compassionately powerful guests: KM Reyes, co-founder of the women-led, youth environmental nonprofit, Centre for Sustainability PH, and Maya Quirino, advocacy coordinator of the Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center leading the #GreenprintPH campaign. We chat with them about gender and how that influences the power they wield in their work in environmental conservation, restoration and policy.
Furthermore, women leaders create so much impactful change within their families and communities in ways that are not always acknowledged or valued. So on 27 March 2021 we're also holding space for womxn working in ecosystem restoration—whether in conservation or regenerative agriculture, in advocacy or environmental policy, in community development, in environmental education, in art and storytelling, and so on—with the hopes that by connecting or reconnecting with one another, we can support each other in appreciating our strengths as women and reclaiming our power. Express your interest to join this event here. Guest list will be finalized by 25 March 2021.
