With support from Mubadala, we’re excited to announce a major Dugong and Seagrass conservation initiative across five countries: UAE, Indonesia, Malaysia, Timor-Leste, and Thailand. This builds on the success of our 2015-2019 Dugong & Seagrass Conservation Project.

Continuing our efforts from Phase 1, we will manage human-wildcat conflicts in Indonesia and address habitat destruction and poaching to protect Thailand’s Siamese crocodiles and otters. Phase 2 will also focus on cultivating future conservation leaders in the UAE, inspired by the success of our small grants program. We aim to establish a local initiative that empowers hands-on conservationists in our communities.

Dugong and Seagrass Conservation

The Dugong and Seagrass conservation initiative, spanning 5 countries, aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 and aims to protect our planet's largest ecosystem.

To protect Thailand’s crocodiles and otters we aim to increase the number of rangers, enhance their capacity, and raise awareness about the importance of both the species and their habitats.
