Today I’m joined by Viviana Figueroa, an Indigenous Omaguaca woman from northern Argentina with a PhD in law. She is not only the first Indigenous woman in Argentina to earn a PhD in law, but also the country’s first Indigenous diplomat at the United Nations. Together, we explore who the Omaguaca people are and their relationship to land and biodiversity, as well as Viviana’s remarkable career and her contributions to international processes such as the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
