Every country we work in is unique, which is why it’s essential for us to collaborate closely with local partners who understand the cultural and contextual landscape. To ensure long-term impact and true sustainability, we actively involve the communities living in and around our project areas.

Here are a few examples of how local communities contribute to and shape our work:

  • Dominican Republic – Rescate Ozama Program: We collaborate with various agencies, including the UNDP, to develop educational materials for schools, helping to raise environmental awareness among young people.
  • Malaysia – Environmental Monitoring: In partnership with local universities like Universiti Teknologi MARA, we work alongside a fantastic team of researchers whose deep ecological knowledge supports our river projects and environmental assessments.
  • Jamaica – The Great Mangrove Cleanup: We team up with local fishermen and communities to remove trash from mangrove areas, blending ecological restoration with community engagement.

These partnerships not only enrich our work but also empower local communities to lead and sustain environmental change.
