Giannina Zamora

Giannina Zamora is a specialist in geography and health with the Aldea Foundation, an education charity that works to improve community access to healthcare and education in Ecuador. With over 20 years of experience, Zamora has seen funding for projects in high-risk areas diminish due to escalating violence, which has made it increasingly difficult to engage local communities in conservation initiatives. Her work highlights the critical link between social support and environmental sustainability in vulnerable regions.
