Hera Anthem
Everyone who spends time at the Mamoní Valley Preserve gets to take a jungle nature hike with the incomparable expert and IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) member Lider Sucre. I joined him with aeronautics pioneer (NetJets Europe and HiFly) Marianela Mirpuri, CEO & Founder of Hera, and her team, Mary Pagano, Dana Al Salem, and renowned French architect Gil Bakhtiar, who are considering Panama as one location for Hera City.
Hera City will be a large sustainable smart city providing unlimited potential for women with the support of people concerned about, and engaged in, creating a better future not only for women, but for all people.
Marianela told me about their pilot program in Mumbai, India. Hera City, once approved in Panama, will be located just 12 kilometers south of the Mamoní Valley Preserve, and will include new sustainable housing. Hera City will have an Iconic Hall, world class conferencing facilities, a museum featuring vernacular design, the art of Panama’s native nations, and the history of women around the world. The Institute will focus on the future of humanity studies.
We learned from Lider how the queen ant of the leaf-cutter ants runs their important show in the forest, and how she looks after the others, as a sovereign. This queen ant is a model of strength and independence ; perhaps she will become a symbol of inspiration for the women of Hera City.
Marianela, Mary, Dana, and Gil later went from the jungle into the city to meet with the Panamanian Government officials about locating Hera City in Panama in collaboration with Geoversity.
At “The Power of Nature,” Dr. Tamsin presented Panama and Mamoní as “Living Bridges” bringing diverse species and cultures together for rich exchange and innovation—opening new opportunities for ongoing evolution. She recognized that Panama’s rich “sancocho de gallina” of biodiversity positions it to become a world center for Biomimicry and a much-needed biocultural renaissance—a return to the human niche of cultivating and tending diverse opportunity and exchange. We are part of the living world, and we have a vital role to play in regenerating it.
