She works to support indigenous communities in preserving biodiversity, upholding traditional medicines, and advancing their cosmologies. Exploring the influence of indigenous rituals and medicines on Western viewpoints, she delves into various perspectives on existence. Additionally, she investigates themes such as consciousness in non-human entities, co-evolution, trust, reciprocity, and shared intentionality. Collaborating with the Yorenka Tasorentsi Institute, Fernanda safeguards indigenous rights concerning traditional knowledge, medicines, and genetic resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Her initiative aims to protect indigenous rights by ensuring respect and benefit for traditional practices, medicines, and knowledge in modern health and environmental policies. It addresses issues like the use of indigenous medicines and emphasizes transparency on matters like traditional knowledge, benefit-sharing, and regulation.
