Natalia Roca

ORA Latin America 2025 Fellow

Sierras Chicas, Córdoba, Argentina

Natalia Roca is a photographer and community organizer based in the Sierras Chicas of Córdoba, Argentina. She began firefighting in 2020 during the region’s devastating wildfires, training in Safe Practices for Wildland Firefighting and co-founding her local brigade in Saldán. She later joined Fuegas, Córdoba’s first organized fire brigade of women and gender-diverse people, and is now a member of its community forest brigade, MAMPA.

Since 2022, Natalia has been documenting the collective’s work through a long-term photography project supported by the National Geographic Society, capturing the spirit of eco-transfeminist resistance and community-based environmental care.

Through her ORA project, Fuegas Brigadistas Organizadas: Territorial Community Action in Response to the Fires, she supports the growth of this grassroots brigade through access to equipment, training, and gatherings—core to their work in prevention, action, and ecological restoration.

Natalia lives with her children and is active in local agroecological food initiatives. She holds a deep love for the native Córdoba forest and its rich biodiversity.
