BioFi Field Building Call: Regenerating the Argentinian Andes
In our growing Community of Practice, we are surrounded by people with profound projects and experiences in Bioregional Finance all over the world.
Our monthly Field Building Call provides an opportunity for community members to share stories of active experimentation and learning in BioFi.
This month, we'll hear from 2 inspiring organizations working on conservation and reforestation in the Argentinian Andes:
Acción Serrana: Biologist and Professor Romina Torre is the Executive Coordinator of Acción Serrana, a project dedicated to the conservation and restoration of Polylepis australis forests. With over 10 years of experience, she has led large-scale projects focused on high-altitude forest restoration and provides consulting services for initiatives targeting the restoration of mountain forests. She also has a strong interest in the social aspects of restoration projects, aiming to incorporate diverse knowledge and perspectives into her work. Additionally, she teaches phytotherapy at a school of Chinese medicine, where her approach to plants seeks to preserve and integrate traditional wisdom with Western knowledge.
Un Árbol ONG: Un Árbol is an organization dedicated to environmental and social regeneration of Argentina. Through reforestation with native species, ecosystem restoration, and the promotion of food sovereignty via agroecology, we work to recover degraded landscapes and strengthen resilient communities. Our approach integrates scientific knowledge, traditional wisdom, and innovative financial models to implement long-term regenerative solutions. We aim to establish participatory governance frameworks that empower local communities to lead the transition towards regenerative economies tailored to their unique bioregional contexts.
Following each presentation, there will be space for questions and dialogue between the Community and presenters.
It’s an opportunity for presenting practitioners to introduce themselves and their work to the Community, ask for the support they’re looking for, and seed conversations and collaborations that can grow on Hylo and in any future calls different Community members would like to host as an offering to the Community.
For one hours and a half, we bring our full attention and presence to the presenters and each other, trusting that the questions, suggestions, learning, and new relational connections that emerge from this generosity will nourish our Community and our interdependent efforts.
Following the presentations, we will offer a brief, optional Q&A about the BioFi Project, offer pathways for you to become more involved, and leave the space open for those who wish to continue with self-organized dialogue!
To request an opportunity to present at a future Field Building Call, please complete this brief form. The BioFi team will work with you to ensure your initiative is a good fit for this space and understand how we or others can best support!
⏰ Calls will be 9-10:30AM PDT / 4-5:30 PM UTC on scheduled dates.
