Boana is an international cooperation association entirely led by women
We build projects for the participatory conservation of protected areas in Patagonia Argentina, in collaboration with our institutional partners and local stakeholders.
Since our creation, we have been leading changes in water management, agroecology and climate change adaptation in El Chaltén, Patagonia Argentina.
01
We are women driving change.
Boana is a French-Argentinean team of women committed to open water management, agroecology and environmental justice, working together for the participatory conservation of protected areas.
02
We operate in isolated areas
We act in isolated areas on the periphery of international funding, to mobilise actors and resources in places of global importance.

We identify conservation priorities
We develop concrete actions in the field and unprecedented in the territory. We combine participatory science, legal activism, community monitoring and advocacy on public policies for the conservation of strategic ecosystems.
How do we do it?
Providing project management support to develop the capacity of local entities for projects with greater social and ecological value.
Promoting multidisciplinary research on fundamental issues for thinking and designing the sustainability of socio-ecosystems
Supporting experimental and innovative projects to promote their development and ensure their sustainability
Mobilizing stakeholders and resources by designing and facilitating participatory collective initiatives for higher impact activities.
Monitoring and measuring the evolution and impact of these projects in order to increase their potential and influence public policy.
