From learning plant medicine in her grandmother’s garden in Peru to exploring the boiling rivers of the Amazon, Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza is redefining what it means to protect and understand our planet.

In this episode of Wild Chats, Rosa shares how traditional knowledge and cutting-edge science can work together to unlock new solutions for health and conservation. We dive into the world of microbes, stingless bees, citizen science, and how storytelling can inspire real action for the Amazon.

If you’re passionate about sustainability, culture, and the wild magic of the natural world, this conversation will light a fire in you. 🌿
