Ărramăt Co-Applicant:– Ărramăt Co-Applicant - Maria Eugenia Choque Quispe

“The llama is seen as a gift from Pachamama (Mother Earth), and its care goes beyond mere economic survival, incorporating spiritual and ritual elements that strengthen community bonds and the connection with ancestors. The act of caring for and raising llamas is seen as a way of nurturing the relationship with Mother Nature, reinforcing the cultural and spiritual identity of the people.” - Maria Eugenia Choque Quispe, Ărramăt Co-Applicant and Co-Lead (August 2024)”
