America Anayelli Olguin Mora

Member of local community Zacatlán, Puebla I Mexico

Two years ago, she had her first experience creating audiovisual materials focused on the defense of territorial rights. She contributed to the production of two mini-documentaries addressing the issues of mining projects and forest fires in her region. This work, combined with her involvement in supporting organizations within the forestry sector, enabled her to observe how these efforts can significantly influence collective awareness and drive actions in favor of environmental conservation and community well-being. During this period, her interest in further developing her skills in audiovisual production grew, prompting her to experiment with content creation through her social media platforms. Her primary objective is to equip individuals from local and Indigenous communities in the Sierra Norte of Puebla, Mexico, with the skills necessary to produce their own audiovisual materials. By doing so, she seeks to support these communities in disseminating the knowledge and tools they have utilized for decades to safeguard their forests.
