Women for Conservation is thrilled to be featured in Yes! magazine in an article by environmental journalist Veronika Perková. The article follows the story of Women for Conservation founder and President Sara Inés Lara through her journey of becoming a leading voice for conservation in Colombia, and how she landed on women’s empowerment initiatives as a leading conservation solution.  

The article covers the stories of Ninfa Carinialli, Women for Conservation’s first female forest guard, commentary from project coordinator Kelly Donado, and quotes from girls who have recently been part of our family planning programs.
