Following a successful initial partnership with Mubadala, we are excited to announce the renewal of our conservation collaboration, focusing on three key projects.

The first is a significant Dugong and Seagrass conservation initiative across five countries including the UAE, Indonesia, Malaysia, Timor-Leste, and Thailand. The second project is an extension of our previous human-wildcat conflict initiative in Indonesia, alongside efforts to combat habitat destruction and poaching to protect Thailand’s Siamese crocodiles and otters. Finally, we’re excited to launch a UAE Local Leaders grant, inspired by the success of our global small grants programme, which aims to empower hands-on conservationists within our communities.
