We know that human beings are totally dependent on nature — and that by saving nature, we’re saving ourselves. To that end, CI is helping to build a healthier, more prosperous and more productive planet. We do this through science, policy, and partnerships with countries, communities and companies. Over the years, CI has helped support 1,200 protected areas and interventions across 77 countries, safeguarding more than 601 million hectares of land, marine and coastal areas.​​ Our work is moving entire societies toward a healthier, more sustainable development path — so that we don’t use up today what we’re going to need tomorrow. At CI, we don’t focus on one sector or one issue. And we’re not interested in short-term fixes. Instead, building upon a foundation of science, partnership and field work, we find global solutions to global problems.​​ We measure success in human terms. Our ultimate goal is to protect the most fundamental things that nature provides to all of us: our food, our fresh water, our livelihoods and a stable climate. Nature doesn’t need people - people need nature.

Story

This October 2026, I’m very excited to embark on a journey with Her Planet Earth, celebrating its 20th all-female expedition. Together with 12 other inspiring women, we will set out on a 7 day self-funded adventure, trekking 80-kilometer “Mountain to Sea” crossing the remote and beautiful countryside and ancient trade routes of Japan; from the Kyoto Mountains to the Amanohashidate, and ultimately ending at the Sea of Japan.

Through this expedition, we are supporting Conservation International Fiji, an organization that empowers women in Fiji’s coastal communities who sustainibilty harvet nama, Fijian seagrapes, using generations of inherited ecological knowledge. Our goal is to raise a total of US$50,000, which will be used in partnership with local women to improve processing infrastructure, financial education and their markets. Not only does the project strengthen livlihoods, but it also supports crucial work in protefcting the islands’ biodiversity, supporting climate adaptiations and promoting regnerative local economies.

This journey also reflects a personal one; stepping out of my comfort zone, physical training and challenging myself in new ways. As my 2nd expedition with Her Planet Earth, I am ecstatic to continue on this path, making a positive contirbution to the enviornment and to women’s empowerment; two causes dear to my heart.

With your support, I hope to reach my fundraising goal of US$5,000 and contribute to making a meaningful difference through this initative. I would be incredibly grateful for any contributions and the support to help make a positive impact 💚
