Indira Silva was born and raised in one of the most remote villages in the Amazon, where she absorbed knowledge of the local flora and fauna from an early age from her parents, who were hereditary hunters and gatherers. Through this she developed a deep connection with nature and respect for the traditions of her ancestors. From the age of 12, Indira began participating in a conservation project, which led her to realize the importance of protecting the rainforest. She is active in fighting illegal logging and organizing educational activities about the importance of the ecosystem.
