Planet Indonesia, sub-grantee to @blueventures.bsky.social, helped form the first women-led mangrove patrol in Kubu Raya: Srikandi Bekantan.
“Srikandi” stands for courage; “Bekantan” (the proboscis monkey) for the fragile ecosystem they protect.
Women’s leadership = stronger conservation. 💪🌱

We accepted invite to join the Advisory Committee of Pacifico which mobilises 💶💵💴 for marine conservation in the Central Eastern Tropical Pacific. Surely, plenty of opportunities for exchange & mutual benefit with our existing and upcoming investments in the region. #OceanOptimism

Still buzzing from last night’s @blueactionfund.org EbA reception with @oceancecilia.bsky.social — packed with energy, new connections, and momentum. Amazing to see the cohort, or “GCF-EbA family,” as one grantee put it today, growing closer and making waves together 🌊📣
