Looking to strengthen your fundraising approach? 👇

We're excited to share a new learning opportunity from the IUCN Academy – the IUCN's professional learning platform, offering practical, expert-led courses for conservationists tackling today's environmental challenges.

The Fundraising for Small Environmental NGOs course is designed to help environmental and conservation organisations strengthen their fundraising skills in a practical, flexible way.

Participants will have the opportunity to share their ideas, exchange feedback, and connect with others experiencing similar challenges around the world.

We're also delighted that our colleague Félix Feider contributed to the course by sharing his experience of how funders approach funding decisions.

His insights complement other valuable perspectives from across the fundraising landscape, which together encourage stronger, more effective partnerships.

Why are white-bellied herons and drones sharing the treetops? 🤔

Our partner the RSPN Bhutan (RSPN) is based in Bhutan working hard to ensure a future for the Critically Endangered white-bellied heron.

Recently, the organisation has begun to implement drones as surveying tools, helping them reach previously inaccessible nesting sites!

Thanks to these drones, the team has been able to collect vital data on the number of individuals in Bhutan.

There are many other variables going into the conservation of these incredibly special birds, but the introduction of drones means safer data collection for conservationists and less disturbance for white-bellied herons, both wins in our book!

Thank you so much to Tshering Tobgay for sharing this story with us!

Small sanctuaries don’t mean small impact! 🦎

Conservación de Anfibios is an amphibian conservation organisation based in Puebla, Mexico working on a fourteen-hectare sanctuary in the southern cloud forests.

Fourteen hectares may seem small, only four percent of the size of Central Park, but the concentration of biodiversity in the area means that there are seventeen different species of amphibians residing within that space!

These species include the Cuetzalan salamander, a Critically Endangered species threatened by human expansion and ecosystem degradation.

The sanctuary’s current goal is to expand the protected land to twenty hectares, creating a biodiversity corridor through connecting with other reserves in the area, ensuring the continued protection of these diverse amphibians!

Happy World Nature Conservation Day! 🌍

As we honour and bring awareness to the conservation efforts that are restoring biodiversity across the globe, we want to celebrate some conservation wins!

Today, we want to highlight some species that are seeing promising signs of recovery according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The IUCN Red List is an amazing tool that reports on the conservation status and extinction risk of the diverse species that make our world what it is.

While at varying levels of population restoration, the numbat, saiga, Cretan dittany, black rhinoceros, and golden sandfish are all great examples of conservation working and restoring populations!

This is what collaboration looks like. 🧡

On what was the hottest London Climate Action Week ever, we opened the doors of the Rights & Nature Hub to an incredible 1435 attendees and over 600 organisations!

We were glad to be able to provide a cool haven from the record-breaking temperatures, but the weather was also a stark reminder of the urgency of our situation.

To address the climate crisis, the environment sector needs more collaboration – which, of course, requires a great deal of time, effort, and coordination.

So, we're especially proud to have co-organised a space – alongside Forests, People, Climate, The International Land and Forest Tenure Facility, and Jacobs Futura Foundation – that brought together so many people dedicated to protecting life in all its forms.

After many months of planning, it was wonderful to witness the connections and conversations that the Hub made possible, but we know that, really, the next steps are the most important.

We'll be reflecting more soon but, for now, would like to thank everyone that joined us.

In particular, huge gratitude to If Not Us Then Who for helping us to create such a beautiful space and capture it! 📸

We hope you enjoy the video.

“I want to see people in Southeast Asia living in a healthy environment, where both their rights and the rights of nature are recognised and protected.”

Kate Mana Galido joined the Synchronicity Earth team back in February 2026 as our Asia Affiliate and brings years of experience and connection with communities across the region to the position.

We recently interviewed her about how she got her start, her hopes for the future of conservation, and more.

What does conservation look like during times of crisis? 🤔

As the current Ebola outbreak has unfolded in the Congo Basin, our partner Okapi Conservation Project has continued their dedication to conservation and the communities they work with in the face of critical circumstances.

Recognising an urgent need, Synchronicity Earth provided emergency support to their Ebola Response Fund.

This Response Fund has enabled the team to conduct community awareness and prevention workshops, distribute personal protective equipment (PPE), and install seven new handwashing stations.

It is thanks to our flexible funding model that we are able to support our partners through unexpected and incredibly difficult circumstances such as this as they fight hard to preserve the most vulnerable species and ecosystems on our planet.

John Lukas, Director of the Okapi Conservation Project, says “At a time when many feel forgotten, your compassion sends a powerful message that they are not alone.”

Follow Okapi Conservation Project to keep up with their mission to protect the Okapi and help keep the communities living alongside them safe.

“Decolonising conservation is about placing communities back at the centre, where they have always belonged.” 🌳

This is how Claude Monghiemo of Mbou Mon Tour responded when we had the opportunity to ask our partners what decolonising conservation in the Congo Basin means to them.

From centring trust in local communities, recognising ancestral wisdom in sustainability methods, and empowering communities to co-create conservation approaches, our partners provided their insight into what the sector needs.

Why do communities need long term grants? 🌿

As one of our Freshwater partners since 2023 and now receiving continued support from us over the next three years with a new long-term grant, A’i Cofán Sinangoe Community Organisation is able to rely on this funding to address community needs that extend beyond direct conservation action.

This support has gone towards restoring community health gardens, building guard watch towers used to protect the Aguarico River, and restoring a school to provide a safe educational environment while passing on community knowledge.

Synchronicity Earth’s long-term, trust-based funding structure allows for organisations like A'i Cofan Sinangoe to address the needs of their community, environmental and otherwise, in ways that conservation NGOs are usually unable to support.

This serves as a reminder to why we take this approach, and it is beautiful to witness the sense of stability this can bring to these communities, ensuring they can focus on protecting life rather than securing funds.

We cannot wait to see how the A'i Cofan Sinangoe community continues to preserve the diversity of the Aguarico River and the people who care for it over the next three years!
