From Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, our Green Spark Fund community came together for our second Quarterly Learning Circle to reflect on progress, share challenges, and learn from one another.

Every project is at a different stage. Some are celebrating milestones, while others are still finding their footing. That’s exactly what makes these conversations so valuable. Through ongoing mentorship and peer learning, grantees are able to exchange ideas, strengthen their work, and build a community that grows together.

Meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when communities are trusted, supported, and connected to one another.

If you’d like to support community-led solutions that are rooted in local knowledge and built for lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you. Send us a message to learn more about the Green Spark Fund. 🌱

This is what partnership looks like — knee-deep, hands in the mud, planting something none of us will see fully grown.

Project MITHI keeps reminding us that restoration isn’t a single event. It’s community, showing up, again and again.

Thank you , , and to the community of Luna.

When communities lead, transformation follows.

The launch of the Weekly Market Day at the Pahauli Center is proof that lasting impact isn't built from the outside in—it's built by communities creating opportunities for themselves.

This is more than a marketplace. It's livelihoods strengthened, local leadership in action, and an investment in a future where prosperity stays rooted in Barangay Bulata.

A huge congratulations to the Project ACE team at Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation, and most importantly, the Buligay Bulata Federation for turning this vision into reality. This is the kind of change we're proud to stand behind. 💚

The strongest investments aren't only measured by financial returns. They're measured by the lives they touch.🌱

As a partner of Project MITHI, Security Bank has shown what corporate partnership can look like when it's rooted in shared purpose. Their support goes beyond funding—helping make community-led, science-based mangrove restoration possible while creating opportunities for employees to stand alongside the communities leading this work.

When businesses choose to invest in nature, they're also investing in stronger communities, greater climate resilience, and a healthier future for everyone.

If your organization is looking for ways to make a lasting difference, we'd love to start the conversation. 💚

Some lessons begin with a story. Others begin with a conversation. 📖💬

On July 25, the community of Luna, La Union came together for both. 🌱

While children gathered to discover the wonders of the ocean through storytelling, local farmers, teachers, and community members joined a Financial Literacy session led by Security Bank volunteers—learning practical ways to save, invest, and build more secure futures for their families.

At first glance, these may seem like two very different conversations. But for us, they're deeply connected.

Protecting nature isn't only about planting mangroves or restoring coastlines. It's also about equipping people with the knowledge, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive. When communities are empowered to plan for the future, they're better able to care for the environments that sustain them. 🌎

Through Project MITHI, we're investing in both people and nature—because resilient communities are at the heart of lasting conservation.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners at Security Bank and Oceanus Conservation for helping make this day of learning possible. Together, we're growing a future where communities and nature can flourish side by side. 🤍🌿

Roots for the future. 🌱

Last July 25, Security Bank employees joined the community of Luna, La Union for a morning of mangrove planting through Project MITHI. Together, they planted almost 500 mangrove seedlings—a shared step toward restoring and protecting the coastline.

Mangroves are among our most valuable coastal ecosystems. They provide habitat for marine life, help protect communities from storm surges and coastal erosion, store carbon, and support the livelihoods of families who depend on healthy seas.

Every seedling planted is a reminder that lasting change grows through partnership. By working alongside local communities, we're helping build more resilient coastlines—for people, for nature, and for generations to come.

Thank you to Security Bank, Oceanus Conservation, and the community of Luna for making this day possible.

Project MITHI is a partnership between Communities for Nature, Security Bank, and Oceanus Conservation that works alongside coastal communities to restore mangrove ecosystems while strengthening climate resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable livelihoods through community-led conservation.

Follow our journey through Project MITHI as we continue growing stronger coastlines, together. 🌊🌿

🌱 Young people aren't just the future of conservation—they're already shaping it.

This World Youth Skills Day, we're celebrating the young leaders, innovators, and changemakers across our global network who are creating lasting impact in their communities.

Through Project ACE with the support of LMAX Group, we're investing in education by supporting ACE Sustainability Scholars. This year, we're proud to celebrate six graduates, with some already giving back by volunteering with the project and supporting the next generation of community-led conservation.

We're also proud to support youth-led initiatives through our Green Spark Fund, including Project RootEd by the Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation (PRRCFI). Led by young people, the project is helping communities strengthen solid waste management while inspiring environmental stewardship from the ground up.

When young people are given the skills, opportunities, and trust to lead, they don't just build brighter futures for themselves—they strengthen the future of nature and their communities.

Happy World Youth Skills Day! 💚

💚 It takes a community to create lasting change.

Each year, Downe House School brings together students, families, staff, and alumni for its much-loved Founders Weekend—an annual celebration for their school.

This year, we were incredibly grateful to be given a dedicated stall over the weekend to raise funds for Communities for Nature's Green Spark Fund. The stall was run by our CEO's daughter, Zoe, alongside her wonderful friends Lily, Kiret, and Dhaneka, who enthusiastically sold merchandise and shared our mission with visitors throughout the event.

We are deeply thankful to Downe House for their continued support of Communities for Nature. Beyond providing us with a platform, they are empowering young women to become changemakers—giving them the opportunity to make a tangible difference for grassroots communities working tirelessly to protect nature around the world.

Zoe raised almost £500, and the funds will go directly to the Green Spark Fund, helping provide early-stage funding to local organisations leading community-driven conservation, restoration, and sustainable livelihood projects. What began as conversations at a school event will help create meaningful impact for communities across the globe.

To everyone who visited our stall, made a purchase, donated, or simply stopped by to learn more—thank you. Your support reminds us that meaningful change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. 🌱

If you'd like to help grassroots communities create lasting change, you can support the Green Spark Fund through the JustGiving link in our bio or send us a message to learn more about getting involved.

Together, we're investing in local leadership, protecting nature, and creating a better future—one community at a time. 💚

🎉 We're heading to the Brazilian Amazon!

We're so excited to announce our partnership with Silvae, marking Communities for Nature's very first partnership in South America.

Together, we'll be supporting the Sãkatani Alliance, working alongside the Huni Kuin people to restore forests, protect ancestral lands, strengthen food sovereignty, and champion Indigenous leadership in the Brazilian Amazon.

The Amazon is one of the world's most important ecosystems, and we're honoured to partner with an organisation that shares our belief that lasting conservation starts with communities. This partnership is an exciting milestone for CFN as we continue to grow a global network of organisations creating meaningful, long-term impact together.

We can't wait to see what we'll achieve together and share this journey with all of you. 💚🌿
