 Hi everyone. My name is Karina Pinasco. I was born in Peruvian Amazon, but I also a nature lover by vocation and by conviction. I've grown a small town called Juanjuy. There I walk it free in forests. I enjoy swimming in rivers until I was nine years old when the violence that tore apart where I was alive. I studied biology and forest conservation to come back to my land and to work for sustainability in our Amazon. And in this mission together with many great parents, partners, we decide to work on voluntary and communal conservation and look for solutions for development for insight. But we have a great challenge ahead. The Amazon in Peru is blending out. 170,000 hectares per year are being deforested. This deforestation is not only caused by illegal activities. It is for the production of non-native foods such as rice, palm or coffee and others. The emergency is even greater in this time of climate change. In August only, it is estimated that we've lost more than two millions hectares of forests in the Amazon caused by burning fire and bad political and economical decisions. We are living a climate emergency. This is a tragedy. But the forest, the Amazon, provides us with ecosystem service such as water, oxygen and medicine. But this source of sustainable food, the forest doesn't need anything. It is there for us. That's why we decide to work on conservation with added tool that is called gastronomy or sustainable gastronomy. An innovative and revolutionary tool that gives value to biodiversity on our cultural and natural world and to demonstrate that the standing forest is more profitable than cut down. Part of our work consists in getting to cooks together with the communities in order to create a collaborative knowledge synergy. With the economy or circular economic approach, we work to use cocoa waste, giving value by products like musilagu, honey, and has flour. This made is possible to stabilize agriculture without needing to cut down the forest anymore and to reduce emissions. In Peru, there is more than 250,000 hectares of cocoa crops. In short, 150 products of the Amazon in 45 restaurants. Thanks to local innovative technologies, we are helping to reduce by 40% the guaje production cost for sustainable use for food and oil. Peru has almost 7 million hectares of natural plantation of guaje. It's crazy not to work with it. In the Andean part of the Amazon, we are working with a quinoa, a superfood, and with honey reduced in found malnutrition. We create 1,500 jobs. We are there used to the poverty. Now there is a huge opportunity. Science, we work with conservation agreements. We have reduced the pressure of our ecosystems. 137 communal and voluntary conservation initiatives. We are working in the Amazon regions where 1.5 million hectares are being conserved with a civil society. This represents a saving four million dollars for the Peruvian states per year, where we are more than 11,000 custodians of the forest. There are more and more consumers looking for a taste of conservation. One is sustainable products that improve the quality of life, the population, and conserve forests. We are contributing to the achievement of five sustainable development goals. And most importantly, happy people. People who are who are proud of our roots, proud of what we are. We have a great potential and this is what we want to tell the world. We know that we are the right path. We know that we can make a change. We are on a way to save our creativity, a change of mentalities about the value of our ecosystems. Gastronomy makes is possible for us to generate benefits for the communities. Those are concrete benefits. But we need more. We need you. We need each and every one of us. If we love what we are, if we love what we have, the conservation is insured. There are many ways, many ways to add up to change. The first one is to be conscious consumers about what we eat every day. Each meal can make difference between a conserved forest and cut down forest. There are many, more ever, if you want to help, here are two more concrete ways to join work. The first one is donated to the communal and voluntary conservation network Amazonia Kela, 11,000 custodians expect your support. The second one is Asla por la Amazonia, campaign in which we intend to restore and repair the great areas in order to reduce the impact of the recent forest fire. The challenge is plant 1 million trees in 2020. We can do it. It's possible. Thank you so much for helping to conserve life to share it with everyone.
