In October 2026, Her Planet Earth will lead its 20th all-female expedition - a seven-day, 80-kilometre “Mountain to Sea” journey through Kyoto Prefecture’s remote interior, ending at Amanohashidate on the Sea of Japan. A team of 12 women will trek ancient trade routes, forested passes, and rural communities, with part of the team also travelling to Ise-Shima to meet Japan’s legendary Ama divers - female free divers whose 2,000-year-old tradition reflects a profound relationship with the sea, resilience, and intergenerational ecological knowledge.

We are fundraising through this expedition to support Conservation International Fiji and help raise US$50,000 for women-led seaweed initiatives in coastal communities. The funds will support women harvesting nama (sea grapes) using generations of local knowledge, while improving access to processing infrastructure, financial literacy, and markets. The goal is not only to strengthen livelihoods, but also to support biodiversity, climate adaptation, and regenerative local economies - shining a light on the fact that some of the most powerful climate solutions are already being led by women.
