Editor

Blanca María Álvarez Román

"Human kindness must not be a partial and transitory act, but a constant superfluity, which costs us nothing and of which we are unconscious." (Henry David Thoreau)

Although Blanca's background is mainly in artistic and literary fields, it was her studies in Development Cooperation, and her field experience in Colombia, which led her to a deep awareness of social and environmental consciousness, especially after working with communities in Bogotá which suffered a dire scarcity of water supplies despite seeing rain every day.

The gender and Human Rights approach have always been paramount in her professional endeavours and, on the other hand, as a hiking enthusiast, knowledge of climate science and meteorology is always useful!
