يُعد تمكين المرأة عاملًا من عوامل التغيير، ليس فقط من زاوية تحقيق المساواة والعدالة الاجتماعية، وإنما أيضًا لدوره في تحقيق نتائج مؤثرة ومستدامة في جهود الحفاظ على الأنواع.
Leading the charge
ARABIC COPY H.E. Razan Al Mubarak, Managing Director of the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, is a woman on a mission. With 20 years of experience, her conservation journey highlights the essential role of women in tackling climate change and biodiversity loss. As the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP28 and the first Arab woman to lead the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), she campaigns for increased female representation in the field.
“In addition to our focus on indigenous communities and youth, we recognise the pivotal role of women in conservation. Women often bear the brunt of environmental challenges like climate change and habitat loss, yet they also hold immense potential to drive positive change. At the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, we prioritise empowering women as agents of change. Over the past two years, we’ve supported over 121 women as project leaders, investing approximately $1,1000,000 in their impactful conservation efforts in developing countries.”
By nurturing female leaders at all levels and promoting inclusivity, we aim to ensure that women’s voices are central to climate action, biodiversity loss and community well-being.
Making a difference
The significance of women in conservation cannot be overstated. Often viewed as guardians of nature, women are not only mothers, sisters, and daughters but also key decision-makers in areas such as food security, land use, and resource management. By embracing these roles, women not only enhance conservation efforts but also lay the foundation for a more sustainable future for everyone.

Africa Can’t Wait: Lessons from the Continent
ربط النقاط
Valerie Amondi, a Kenyan native, is bridging the gap in conservation. At the MBZ Fund, we believe collaboration is key to making a meaningful impact. Even small actions, like connecting conservationists in the same region, can lead to significant results. While these experts often focus on different species, sharing knowledge and resources is crucial. To amplify Africa’s voice in conservation, Valerie launched the campaign “Africa Can’t Wait: Lessons from the Continent,” visiting four MBZ Fund grant recipients to highlight African conservation successes. This is her story.
