The Uru Uru Team is an Indigenous youth and women-led collective restoring Lake Uru Uru through community-driven environmental action rooted in Indigenous science and ancestral knowledge.
The project is transforming a landscape impacted by pollution and environmental degradation through ecosystem restoration, community cleanups, and culturally grounded conservation practices.
Through the cultivation and protection of native totora plants, the initiative supports natural water filtration, biodiversity recovery, and ecological balance.
The project integrates ancestral knowledge, environmental education, and community-based research guided by Indigenous stewardship practices.
By engaging youth, especially girls and young women, the initiative strengthens connections between generations while nurturing future environmental leaders.
The restoration of Lake Uru Uru strengthens relationships with water, land, identity, and Indigenous territorial sovereignty.
The Uru Uru Team demonstrates how Indigenous science creates holistic solutions that restore ecosystems and strengthen community resilience.
