The artisans of Albuferas de Medio Mundo and El Paraíso (Lima region) are women committed to the conservation of coastal wetlands. Their capacities are strenghtened through the “ESCUELABE: Marine coastal schools for ecosystem-based adaptation”, which is implemented by the German development cooperation (EbAMar project) with NGO CooperAcción.

Under the idea: “climate change is affecting wetlands and without them, there is no reed and no economic opportunities”, women conserve and make use of wetlands in a sustainable manner. So far, 95 women have strengthened their identity with this ecosystem and their importance in facing climate change.
