In the remote highlands of Dersim, Eastern Turkey, the Zaza Kurds have lived in harmony with the land for generations. Their traditions hold valuable lessons about resilience and environmental stewardship, but their way of life is at risk.

Guardians of the Munzur documents the Zazas’ deep connection to nature and the ongoing challenges they face, offering an urgent reminder that our relationship with the environment is integral to who we are and who we become.

This ongoing work seeks grant funding to help complete the project and inspire a renewed sense of awe and responsibility for the natural world.
