#LatinoConservationWeek was established to encourage the Latino community to embrace the outdoors and engage in activities that safeguard our natural resources. During this week, organizations across the country host events ranging from hiking and camping to film screenings, all aimed at promoting environmental conservation and offering Latinos opportunities to advocate for the protection of our land, water, and air. In honor of this week, we’re excited to spotlight the film Chicas al Agua. In Futaleufú, Chile, female paddlers are few and far between, but they are determined to change that. After many riverside matés and inspiring conversations, the idea to create a kayak course for local teenage girls took shape. Thanks to a dedicated group of women, this dream has become a powerful and uplifting contribution to their community. Celebrate with us as we honor these remarkable efforts and the spirit of conservation throughout Latino Conservation Week! @latinoconservationweek @hispanicaccess @nrsweb @boondocsmedia @pyranha.kayaks @biobioexp @lizmcgregor7 #chicasalagua #LatinoConservationWeek #LatinoConservationWeek2024 #LCW24 #LCW2024
