Boana is an international cooperation association entirely led by women
We develop participatory conservation projects in protected areas of El Chaltén, Argentine Patagonia, in collaboration with institutional partners and local stakeholders.
​
Since our founding, we have driven changes in water management, access to information, participation, and environmental justice, while also promoting climate change adaptation in the region.
01
We are women driving change
Boana is a French-Argentinean team of women committed to open water management, agroecology and environmental justice, working together for the participatory conservation of protected areas.
02
From local landscapes to global futures
In remote corners of the world where data is scarce, we build concrete projects that connect the global agenda with local priorities, mobilizing actors and resources to protect ecosystems that matter for humanity’s future, like El Chaltén.
03
Ecosystem protection through participation, evidence, and socio-environmental rights
We develop concrete, field-based actions that are unprecedented in the territory. Grounded in a political ecology perspective, we combine participatory science, legal advocacy, community monitoring, and policy engagement to protect strategic ecosystems and ensure that local knowledge, values, and rights shape conservation priorities.
