Roccio, a Peruvian woman, is surrounded by her alpacas, which gaze at the observer, creating a strong sense of unity. The scene reflects the symbiosis between Andean communities and their alpacas, symbols of mutual dependence, respect, and shared identity: not only a source of wool and food but also an embodiment of a way of life. However, climate change threatens this tradition, forcing farmers to search for higher grazing lands, while mining activities encroach upon the vital habitats of the herds. Despite this, Andean communities continue to fight to preserve their traditions and their future, adopting sustainable practices and passing down knowledge from generation to generation.
