Local Journalism & Research Empowerment
We support local leadership by providing funding for research and storytelling that advances conservation and cultural resilience. Through small grants and collaborative opportunities, we empower Indigenous researchers, journalists, and community members to investigate pressing issues, share powerful stories, and drive change from within their own territories.
