Protecting Seeds, Protecting Memory: The Story of Glorieuse Zania
Young indigenous woman from the Bambuti community living in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Glorieuse Zania is bursting with energy. This is a story of determination, passion, belief and faith in the future, for her and the other young African communities around her.
She is already coordinating Slow Food projects and communities across several French-speaking African countries, from Congo to Cameroon, from Mali to Rwanda, including initiatives carried out within Slow Food Indigenous communities in the DRC, Burundi and Burkina Faso.
Her work connects local initiatives and strengthens networks committed to protecting biodiversity and traditional food systems. But her story begins in the forests of eastern Congo.
