Current projects
To bring the World Heritage Convention to life and promote participatory and transparent management of protected areas, we develop actions that advance the Escazú Agreement, river monitoring with a climate-change adaptation approach, the integration of a gender perspective, and scientific–artistic mediation to protect glacier landscapes.
Together, we work toward a Chaltén that cares for its socio-ecosystems and opens spaces where women lead socio-environmental projects and make their voices heard.

HidroClim El Chaltén is a community-powered water data network focused on quantitative measurements to protect water as a common good.
Using the CrowdWater app and HOBO sensors, we invite residents, students, guides, and visitors to monitor glacier-fed rivers together, fostering collective care for water as a shared resource and bringing climate and water science closer to everyone.

Guardianes de la Cuenca is a program that develops strategies to improve access to information, participation, and environmental justice to strengthen the conservation of glacier landscapes in El Chaltén.
​
​​Guardianes de la Cuenca protects the glacier landscapes of El Chaltén by promoting ecosystem conservation through participatory monitoring, public policy engagement, and evidence-based recommendations. We mobilize the Escazú Agreement to guarantee access to information, strengthen the rights of environmental defenders, and foster environmental justice. The program creates community spaces for reflection and action to care for ecosystems, with a special focus on access to sanitation and integrated water management within the watershed.

Diatomeas, a digital magazine to imagine the socio-environmental futures of Patagonia.
​
Diatomeas is an open-access bilingual digital magazine developed by the Boana association. Diatomeas explores the knowledge and experiences of the Patagonian territory, intertwining artistic expression and scientific mediation. We venture into the dynamics of territorial construction to seek opportunities for socio-environmental justice. Far from prefabricated solutions and dogmatic approaches, with a line that questions rather than imposes, Diatomeas aims to open our imaginations towards desirable futures.​
State of the project: ongoing
Starting date: March 2024
Climate change adaptation and climate justice
​
We promote climate change adaptation and climate justice with a gender perspective in El Chaltén, aiming to reduce adaptation gaps in mountain territories. We work with key stakeholders to assess vulnerabilities, strengthen public policies, and develop methodologies for monitoring climate impacts in protected areas with high water value and UNESCO designation, supported by a national and international scientific network.
