🌿 Pollination Foundation Impact and Learning Report 2024 🌏   What can we do as allies to hold space among diverse partners and build the trust needed within collectives to reach our global nature and climate goals?   To explore this in FY24, we went to the jungles of Peru and Indonesia 🍃 the vibrant corals of the Great Barrier Reef 🪸 and into the deserts of central Australia and the Middle East 🐪 These journeys were about listening, learning, and spending time with IP&LCs in their territories.    You can read more about our insights and how this shapes our plans for the future in our FY24 Impact and Learning Report here: https://lnkd.in/gsvZzfHx   Pictured: Our Co-CEO's, Ariadne Gorring and Jane Hutchinson at Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park for the 2024 Indigenous Desert Alliance Conference. 📷 © Ariadne Gorring #IndigenousKnowledge #NatureStewardship #CollaborationForChange #Sustainability #IPLCLeadership

🦎Flowing New Funding for IP&LC-led Stewardship. Could the Cali Fund Play a Role in Supporting Nature Credit Projects?🌿 We've been thinking deeply about ways to flow new funds to IP&LC-led nature stewardship for some time. Our reflections on the recent Convention on Biological Diversity's COP 16 in Cali, Colombia, led to the flicker of an idea. In this blog post, we explore how the Cali Fund, created at COP16, and other funds like it, are opportunities for corporates to invest directly into IP&LC-led nature credit projects. And one of the best things is...that it's got nothing to do with offsetting 🙌 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d4zveNku Pictured: Street Festival, COP 16 Green Zone, Cali, Colombia. 📷 Jane Hutchinson #naturecredits #biodiversitycredits #IP&LCstewardship #naturefinance

🚀  The Indigenous Desert Alliance Conference 2024 is about to wrap up after three days in the heart of Australia – Yulara, Northern Territory. We’ve learned much about the critical work, deep knowledge, and wisdom of the incredible desert rangers looking after one-third of the continent. We’ve heard about the resourcing challenges and the opportunities that new and stacked financing streams could bring to desert work. We’ve also had a chance to spend time with some inspiring leaders, like Sam Murray, CEO of Indigenous Desert Alliance. You can read more about her reflections on women’s leadership here: https://lnkd.in/g37BzigP Thank you to the fantastic IDA team for hosting us! 🙏✨ #IndigenousDesertAlliance #Conservation #Leadership #DesertRangers #SustainableFinance 📷 Michael Torres and Jane Hutchinson

🌿 The future of nature finance is a hot topic at COP16 Colombia. A dynamic roundtable dialogue at the Biodiversity & Finance Pavilion on "Building the Future of Nature Finance Together" brought together Indigenous leaders and financial experts to discuss equitable financing and how to flow more funds to nature's stewards.    Pollination Foundation's Kirsty Galloway McLean shared some key takeaways from the session below. 👇   #COP16Colombia #IndigenousLeadership #NatureBasedSolutions

"Partnerships are not just transactional; they need to be based on friendship." - Jane Hutchinson   As COP16 Colombia gets underway, Pollination Foundation’s Kirsty Galloway McLean shares her insights from "Just Partnerships: Exchange and Learning Between Indigenous Peoples, Afro-Descendant Descendant & Local Communities", a powerful panel discussion moderated by Katy Baker from United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), highlighting the critical need to rethink how we finance biodiversity protection and ensure Indigenous voices are not only heard but lead the way. Here are some of her highlights from the discussions 👇   #COP16Colombia #IndigenousLeadership #NatureBasedSolutions

Collaboration is critical to solving our climate and nature crises. Earlier this year, Ampliseed, in partnership with Conservation International, brought together 18 practitioners from 7 projects across the globe to #Peru for our Environmental Resilience Partners Workshop. Together, we explored innovative nature-based solutions that put communities at the heart of climate action. From the Amazon to the Australian desert, the insights show how local wisdom leads to global impact. 🌿🌎 #ClimateAction #IndigenousKnowledge BHP Foundation
