THE STEWARDS
Since 2022, the family of Amelia, León, and Juan have been living, protecting, and planning their future in Ñuiyañni in collaboration with the Kogi elders of the Kaggaba tribe, traditional authorities of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

HUB VISION
Ñuiyanñi is more than just a home; it is a sanctuary. It is the home of our family, the home of the Elders of the Sierra’s Indigenous peoples, who generously share their wisdom. It is the home of birds, monkeys, bees, and plants that protect the water. It is the home of ancestral knowledge, which guides us in restoring soil, water, biodiversity, and natural cycles. Ñuiyanñi is a home for Life, a piece of land that calls us to care for it with tenderness, responsibility, and awareness.

Here, the power of encounter offers a path to healing and renewal. It allows us to take responsibility for the impact we've had on this once-degraded territory. It is a place where traditional knowledge, rooted in the Law of Origin, meets scientific understanding, sparking new ways to co-create the world. It is where campesino families, learning to be stewards of the land, come together with the "Elder Brothers" to experience a shared connection with the nature that we all are.

A key component of this vision is the establishment of an innovative soil restoration center, which will combine ancestral wisdom and academic knowledge. This center will serve as a hub for producing and disseminating restoration techniques to communities and stakeholders across the bioregion. Its main goal is to restore Ñuiyanñi's soils, long affected by overgrazing, monocultures, and agrochemical use, while recovering a vital biological corridor. This corridor will become a sanctuary for endangered species such as the Blue-billed Curassow, the Howler Monkey, and the Marmoset Monkey, offering them a safe haven and ensuring the protection of this fragile ecosystem.

In Ñuiyanñi, through this integration of ancient and modern knowledge, we seek to regenerate the land, water, and biodiversity, restoring balance and creating a future where both nature and humanity can thrive together.
