🌲 Every tree has a story. Every community has a voice.

Through Stories of Trees, Corazón Latino brings leading scientists, researchers, and practitioners into direct conversation with the communities their work serves.

This podcast creates space for dialogue, shared knowledge, and new perspectives on the connections between nature, science, culture, and our communities. 🌿

🎙️ Not a lecture. A conversation.

Listen to Stories of Trees on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.

🤎 Did you know? Carved into the mountainside in Isabela, , La Cara del Indio honors Taíno leader Cacique Mabodamaca. The monument pays tribute to his legacy and the island’s Indigenous roots.
This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Corazón Latino celebrates the strong Indigenous roots that continue to nourish our communities. Those roots live through generations, in the cultures we carry, the bonds we nurture, the music we dance to, and our care for our Madre Tierra.

Happy !
