Programa, Amazonas 22

Abstract

The radio program "Voces y Regiones" features an interview with a group of young leaders from the Amazon who are working on strategies to raise awareness in their community about the importance of preserving their environment and culture. The interviewees highlight the region's ethnic and linguistic diversity, mentioning the existence of over 200 languages, including 80 ethnic languages, as well as the presence of foreign communities that have contributed to local trade. Additionally, they emphasize the value of medicinal plants and traditional medicine as resources for treating various diseases. The interview underscores the need to implement new pedagogies and communication strategies, such as videos or music, to engage young people and encourage their participation in the preservation of the Amazon.
