Aa'Imaja ^ a is a group of 30 Wayuu women artisans from Punta Gallinas and Bahía Hondita, located in the northern of Colombia.

This group is the result of efforts to protect sea turtles in the territory of these two communities in La Alta Guajira. Those efforts belong to a conservation agreement between communities, Conservation International Colombia, The Action Fund, Cerrejón and Corpoguajira. Products with the tagua tortoise are part of this project to protect sea turtles.
