Ante las crisis ambientales que enfrentamos, todavía hay mucho que desconocemos sobre nuestra relación simbiótica con la naturaleza y el impacto positivo que esta puede tener en nuestras vidas. A lo largo de los siglos, nos hemos ido alejando de nuestro entorno natural, como resultado de procesos de colonización, creencias religiosas, urbanización y modelos económicos que priorizan la explotación de los recursos.

En el episodio de hoy, les invito a escuchar a Tomás Ibarra, desde Chile, profesor y experto en temas socioecológicos.

También colabora con otros centros de investigación enfocados en ecología, desarrollo local e interculturalidad. Vive en el sur de Chile, donde combina investigación, docencia y acción socioecológica. Desdehace más de 15 años lidera un trabajo transdisciplinario que integra ciencias naturales, sociales, humanidades y saberes locales para fortalecer la resiliencia de territorios complejos, especialmente en bosques, montañas y sistemas agroecológicos a pequeña escala.

Did you know that approximately 6% of the Earth's land surface is covered by wetlands? These vital ecosystems are under threat, yet many people are unaware of what wetlands are and the benefits they provide in mitigating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and maintaining water systems.

Today, we welcome Alexander Kornelsen from Mission to Marsh, an organization doing amazing work, which is committed to ensuring that wetlands can once again provide an Earth worth living on in the future.

Alexander is the director and co-founder of Mission to Marsh. With a background in marketing and storytelling, he combines his passion for visual communication with a deep commitment to making global environmental issues tangible. Together with his partner Ann Christin, a peatland scientist, he developed the idea for a documentary road movie that uniquely blends science and emotion. His goal is not only to inform people but to inspire them to take action – for wetlands, for the climate, and for our shared future.
