The FY24 year led us to the jungles of Peru and Indonesia,  the vibrant corals of the Great Barrier Reef, and into the deserts of central Australia and the Middle East. These journeys were about listening, learning, and spending time with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IP & LCs) in their territories.

What resonated most is the readiness of IP & LCs to lead solutions to heal, protect, and steward nature. What’s needed? Recognition of IP & LC rights, partnerships with values-aligned funders and businesses, and the willingness to approach the challenges differently.

As allies, we can foster trust among diverse partners. Trust enables us to journey into the jungle, dive over reefs, and navigate through the desert together.

Looking towards the year ahead, we’re committed to nurturing these partnerships—with IPs and LCs, businesses, philanthropists, and investors; and sharing what we learn along the way. From there, we’ll identify the models that translate those partnerships into scalable solutions for the benefit of all.
