🏜️ MEET THE MEERKATS: LEADERSHIP WAS NEVER ASSIGNED BY GENDER

In the Kalahari Desert, one female runs the entire clan. She’s the meerkat matriarch: up to 50 individuals follow her lead.

She decides where to forage, move or sleep.

🔬 For years, scientists wondered how one female holds that much control. Duke University researchers found the answer: it’s hormonal. During pregnancy, her testosterone levels nearly double: not for aggression’s sake, but as fuel to protect her clan through droughts, scarcity, and predators.

🧬 A study tracking 129 wild meerkats confirmed it: dominant females consistently carry higher androgen levels than subordinates, one of the clearest biological signatures of female-led power in the animal kingdom.

🧭 Her power isn’t only biological. She’s the clan’s memory. She knows where to find food after a drought, and when it’s time to move the whole group to survive.
Researchers link her leadership directly to the clan’s long-term resilience: when she leads well, the group survives.

Leadership was never assigned by gender. Nature’s been proving that for millions of years.

💚 Madagascar is home to all the world’s lemur species, yet around 90% are threatened with extinction.

🦧 Meet Dr. Sylviane Volampeno — primatologist, university lecturer, mother of two, founder and president of Mikajy Natiora, and Deputy Chair of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group, Madagascar Section.

Sylviane studied the Critically Endangered blue-eyed black lemur for her PhD. She then founded Mikajy Natiora to turn science and research into action.

Since 2013, Mikajy Natiora has worked with communities around Andilambologno Forest through four interconnected areas:

🔬 Research and forest protection, with local rangers monitoring lemurs and patrolling the forest.
📚 Environmental education, working with children and adults to build awareness about nature and conservation.
🩺 Community healthcare, bringing free medical consultations closer to remote communities.
🌱 Sustainable livelihoods, including crop farming, poultry rearing and beekeeping, to help reduce pressure on the forest.

🌲 Because protecting nature also means supporting the people who live alongside it.
And there is still so much to discover. During their fieldwork, the team recorded the fat-tailed dwarf lemur in an area where it had not previously been recorded by the team.

Sylviane has also faced difficult moments in the field. During one forest fire, she and a small team fought the flames and went to a nearby village to seek help until the fire was brought under control.

🇲🇬 Today, she brings that same determination to protecting Madagascar’s forests, wildlife and communities.

Her slogan:
“Za tompon’ny amaray.”
The future belongs to me.

Stories like this can grow when women leading conservation have the support they need.

That’s why, at Daughters for Earth, we back this work.

The UN says the window to restore our forests is narrowing, and the opportunity has never been bigger.

🌲 Restoring 1 billion hectares could generate an estimated $1.8 trillion in benefits every year.
Behind every restored landscape are people who decided to act.

💜 What would it mean to put women’s leadership at the heart of the fight for our planet?

0.2%. That’s how much climate funding goes to women’s leadership.

Women and children are hit hardest by the climate crisis, yet women are too often cast only as victims, not as the leaders of change they already are. 🫂

🤝🏼 That’s the gap Zainab Salbi set out to close, and it’s how Daughters For Earth was born: to find women leaders, fund them, learn from them, and make sure the world hears their experiences.

🌎 Because this isn’t only a climate crisis. It’s a planetary health crisis. We’ve lost more than a million species in the last hundred years. As nature teaches us, everything is an interdependent cycle, and we can’t solve a problem with the same logic that created it.

What women leaders are showing us is that the solution starts at the root: our emotional connection to nature.

📢 We cannot solve a crisis through the same approaches that caused it. So we want to amplify the voices of these women shaping conversation and asking what’s happening with nature and our relationship with her.

🌱 These panels led by women in NY CLIMATE WEEK addressed the climate issues squarely. They also addressed a root cause rarely named in these rooms: the erosion of our connection to the Earth.

Women have been valued for our emotional intelligence as caregivers for centuries, yet penalized for it in the corporate world.
Today, that same intelligence is what this moment in history is asking for.

🫂 The crisis we face won’t be solved with the logic that created it. It’s not only a technical problem, so it can’t have only a technical solution. We need a shift in consciousness: seeing the living being in all things, and activating the intelligence of the heart alongside the mind.

🌍 So here’s our call in Daughters For Earth: we look for the women leading real solutions. We support them financially. We find them and fund them.
