Pollination Foundation’s global learning and leadership network, Ampliseed, is built on a core belief in the power of connection and communication. Our mission is to bring together conservation practitioners, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities (IP & LCs) to nurture sustainable environmental outcomes, with a strong focus on a rights-based, people-centred approach. We elevate voices often overlooked in global discussions through our dynamic network. Beyond individual events, our activities create lasting impact by sharing knowledge, building capacity, and developing trusted relationships that create pathways for innovation and resilience. This interconnectedness not only enhances the effectiveness of individual projects but also strengthens the collective ability of our members to influence policy and practice on a global scale.

In our 2024 Annual Report, we share the following highlights:

• Education & Capacity Building: New workshops, like our Communications Training Series, equipped members to amplify their stories effectively.
• Sustainable Financing: A Global Donor Scan identified crucial funding pathways for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities.
• Global Advocacy: Supported IP & LC participation in high-profile forums like COP-28 to push for climate action and Indigenous rights.

As we close another transformative year at Ampliseed, we reflect on the impact of our global learning and leadership network. Our collective efforts have not only strengthened connections among conservation practitioners but have also amplified the critical role IPs & LCs play in safeguarding our planet’s future.

Our members have told us they particularly value the strategic networking opportunities, in-depth workshops, and robust support systems that Ampliseed offers. These elements have been crucial in fostering impactful collaborations and enhancing our community’s capacity to effect change. Pollination Foundation continues to receive regular requests from other Indigenous and community-led initiatives to join Ampliseed, and member projects are increasingly interested in connecting to a broader range of partners.

Informed by this feedback and guided by insights from the recent valuation exercise, we are excited to embark on the next phase of our journey. We hope to establish the Ampliseed connection methodology and best practices as a globally recognised model, akin to how yoga practice has spread worldwide. We envisioned this model as a central support system that interconnects with other support hubs, such as sustainable finance projects, project incubators, leadership initiatives, and story-sharing initiatives. The first steps towards achieving this include capturing the impact of Ampliseed’s model and building a roadmap for others to implement the Ampliseed practice.

Thank you for being part of this journey with Ampliseed. We look forward to what we can achieve together in the coming year.
