Marce Gutiérrez-Graudiņš, founder of Azul, explains in this article the ways that the conservation movement can be more equal and inclusive. Gutiérrez-Graudiņš is working to dismantle institutional barriers in the environmental movement and increase the presence of Latino voices in California’s climate policy making. She wrote in the introduction for La Verde Paper: Latino Perspectives on Conservation Leadership, released by La Madre Tierra and Resource Media, that although the conservation movement has failed to adequately engage people of color, on-the-ground movements exist and are engaging with and impacting policy in communities.
