Story
In 2026, Her Planet Earth is fundraising for Conservation International Fiji through a series of expeditions and impact journeys designed to raise awareness, mobilise support and connect women directly with the communities and ecosystems at the heart of this work.
In July, we took a small team to Fiji to visit Conservation International’s work on the ground, meet local communities and learn more about the women-led seaweed initiatives we are supporting. In August, a team of women will undertake a sailing expedition from Iceland to the Faroe Islands, followed in October by our 20th all-female expedition, an 80-kilometre “Mountain to Sea” journey through Kyoto Prefecture in Japan.
Together, these journeys are raising funds towards our US$50,000 + goal for women-led seaweed initiatives in Fiji’s coastal communities. The funds will support women harvesting nama, or sea grapes, using generations of local knowledge, while improving access to processing infrastructure, financial literacy and markets.
By strengthening women’s livelihoods, these initiatives also support marine biodiversity, climate adaptation and regenerative local economies. Through every expedition, we aim to show that some of the most powerful climate solutions are already being led by women and rooted in the wisdom of local communities.
