CEOLegado
Majka Burhardt is the Founder and CEO of Legado, an organization that works alongside Indigenous and local communities to design and implement solutions that benefit both their communities and landscapes—an outcome they call Thriving Futures. Legado began in the mountains of Mozambique where the Queen of Mount Namuli, Adelina Jassisone, challenged Majka to build an organization that considered all aspects of her community’s thriving, not just conservation. Today, it partners with local and regional organizations to support over 109 communities across Mozambique, Peru, Kenya, and Indonesia to create their own holistic Thriving Futures. A professional climber, author, and anthropologist, she integrates three decades integrating the unexpected into both Legado and her latest book, More: Life on the Edge of Adventure and Motherhood.
