WE ARE VOZTERRA
VozTerra is a multidisciplinary collective seeking to become a change generator regarding climate change and biodiversity protection. Our goal is to empower citizens into taking action towards a more sustainable world via connecting them with ecosystems by listening to its natural sounds and the messages of the communities that inhabit these territories. Through these interactions, VozTerra seeks to create awareness in its audience and to invite them to take non traditional actions that might help reduce climate crisis and protect biodiversity.
Stop, Listen, Take Action
The group VozTerra was created in August 2019 by Lany Arévalo, Héctor Buitrago, Rafael Puyana, Diana Restrepo and Daniel Roa, whom, in collaboration with the United Nations Museum, UN Live Museum, decided to develop the VozTerra platform. VozTerra is an audio platform that was born with the purpose of raising a voice of awareness about the care of our natural ecosystems, opening spaces for listening and dialoguing with the communities
