🐝🌿 Meet Ysa Calderón: The Guardian of the Native Bees 🌿🐝
For Ysa Calderón, stingless beekeeping is more than honey—it's a way to protect nature, empower women, and restore #ecosystems. As a Quechua-speaking conservationist, chemical engineer, and ecopreneur, she weaves Indigenous wisdom into her work, ensuring that native stingless bees and their habitats thrive. ✨

Through her organization Sumak Kawsay, Calderón supports women-led stingless #beekeeping, using honey production and agritourism to create economic opportunities while reinvesting in land #restoration. In 2025, she’ll launch Women Guardians of Native Bees, expanding her mission to further empower women and youth in sustainable stingless beekeeping. Awarded the 2024 Midori Prize for Biodiversity, she proves that community-led conservation is key to a just and resilient future. 💛

This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate Ysa Calderón, a leader in #pollinator protection and Indigenous conservation. 🐝💛
