With Erika Berenguer, Neide Nakamura, Valéria Paz, Gislene Lopes, Cibele Bicudo, Jociery Alencar, Camila Sobral
Directed by Paulina Chamorro and João Marcos Rosa, Women in Conservation is a powerful and intimate documentary that profiles seven remarkable Brazilian women at the forefront of the country’s environmental movement.
Through a delicate and empathetic lens, the film explores the lives and work of climate scientist Erika Berenguer, conservation biologist Neide Nakamura, Amazonian community advocate Valéria Paz, Cerrado protector Gislene Lopes, marine researcher Cibele Bicudo, indigenous rights activist Jociery Alencar, and environmental educator Camila Sobral.
Each woman brings a unique perspective and area of expertise—from forest science and marine conservation to environmental justice and traditional knowledge. Together, their stories form a rich tapestry of resistance, care, and leadership that challenges the male-dominated narrative of conservation.
Directed with sensitivity and urgency, Women in Conservation is not only a tribute to these environmental heroines but also an essential educational tool that highlights the critical intersection of gender, science, and sustainability in Brazil.
